Do I need to know HTML to create online help?

HTML - General Knowledge

There are many programs (e.g., RoboHelp, DreamWeaver, etc.) that can help you automatically turn your text to HTML. However, if you want to be an online help pro, you should at the least have a basic grasp of HTML. The automated programs do no always result in the formatting you desire, and often you need to adjust the programming. There are many free HTML tutorials on the Web. Type in "free HTML lessons" and you will come up with Websites such as http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/tut/, http://www.aaahtml.com/, or http://www.davesite.com/webstation/html/. Alternately, there are a wide variety of books available to teach you HTML.
