TechWriter for XML Schemas

The TechWriter product line are Windows desktop applications that provide the ability to auto-generate documentation in multiple environments. Features common to the tools include:

- Multiple output choices (HTML Help, PDF, RTF/Word and Web site)

- A tabbed user interface

- Allows tech writers to enhance the generated doc with additional information that is not overwritten on subsequent revisions

- Documentation can be targeted towards different audiences by controlling what information is included (exclude different objects, elements, attributes, types by checking a box; set up rules to exclude information; control the level of detail)

- Automatically detects changes and updates the documentation to match

Currently among the separately available products are:

- TechWriter for Web Services automatically generates documentation for Web Services. It collects information about the methods, elements, attributes and types directly from the WSDL that defines the service.
