About WebHelp Pro and FlashHelp Pro
WebHelp Pro and FlashHelp Pro layouts deliver server-based output for web and applications. To publish this output
to a server, RoboHelp Server must be installed.
WebHelp Pro is an uncompiled output type that supports standard Help features.
You create WebHelp Pro or FlashHelp Pro projects in RoboHelp, authoring content, adding features, and customizing
the appearance. When you're ready to view and test the output, generate the project. RoboHelp creates output files in
a single folder within the project folder.
