Widgets are a configurable and extendable library of content helpers with related resources. Using Widgets where suitable delivers a number of benefits:
Widgets reduce duplication of effort by allowing you to quickly create common content;
Widgets help to enforce consistency across your projects;
Widgets also allow you to separate presentation from content by defining the style and structure of common content elements;
Widgets are stored as XML in your content, but are authored entirely inline in the same way as your other content.
Standard Widget Types that ship with HelpStudio include:
Note, Tip and Caution boxes;
Dynamic Image (enlarge / collapse a thumbnail image in place);
Colorized Example Code;
Include Topic (include the content of one Topics in another);
