There are lots of tools for embedding images from the clipboard, disk or the Web, syntax colored code snippets and you can easily pick and link other topics from within the documentation project.

Publish the way you want

HelpBuilder creates output as a self contained static Web site that includes an easy to navigate and searchable Web and mobile accessible interface. A number of themes are available to alter the styling of the site. The same Web based output is also used to produce CHM HTML Help Files and Word or PDF document output from your Help project. Help Builder also provides built in FTP support to upload your project to a Web server and even update individual topics when working on content.

It's an awesome tool for a personal knowledge base to track information around specific topics in an easy to manage project.
