Generate a help page from a Word document: chmProcessor

In my ongoing quest to find a good tool to create our help files for a web application we are building, I stumbled over the following tool: chmProcessor

“chmProcessor is a tool that allows generating a help project and a compiled HTML help (CHM file) from a MS Word or HTML 4 file. If the file is a word document, the section titles must use the “Title 1”, “Title 2”, etc styles that offers by default Word. If the file is a HTML 4 file, the titles must use the <H1>, <H2>, etc. tags.

From this original file, each section of the document is split to different HTML files. Each of these files will be a topic page at the help. From the original document, you can generate:

· A Microsoft Help Workshop project.

· A compiled HTML help (CHM file).

· A web site like this.

· An Adobe PDF file.

· A Microsoft XPS file.

· A Java Help JAR file.”

If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t

DevToys–A swiss army knife for developers
