    Document! X is an automated authoring tool with full authoring capabilities. You can create, publish and maintain documentation for .NET, Web Services, Databases, XSD Schemas, COM Components and Type Libraries, Java and JavaScript. It takes the existing source content and automates the production of the core reference information.

It delivers all of the benefits of automated, accurate, and comprehensive documentation without sacrificing the ability to customize, supplement, and extend the generated content.

    You can concentrate on developing help content by automatically laying out generated topics in a consistent and professional style. Its template-based approach for help development makes it easy to change and evolve the look and feel of your help project without any rework in the help content.
