I just published an article that is revisiting one I wrote back in February 2008 showing how to create a wiki-like help system.

Since 2008, I have implemented that feature in most applications because the user can really customize the documentation to fit their needs. The system has proven to be useful in many occasion.

Not only users are more than happy to be able create and improve the help by themselves, they have also asked for some improvements. These required are the same as those listed in the “Extending this system” section of the 2008 article. I have seen them coming! One of the improvements is the ability to be able to jump from one topic to another (this is why I have a listbox control on the left of the screen). Lately, a customer also asked me to generate a Word document containing all the topics from the wiki system.

That last request will be subject of this article.
