If you're considering using Oracle Help as a Help format, take a look at some of its advantages and limitations described below.
Easy creation of Oracle Help: RoboHELP provides an integrated Help authoring environment for the development and generation of Oracle Help Help systems. It provides a fast and easy way to join the features of Oracle Help and the power of RoboHELP.
Platform independent: Oracle Help is written entirely in the Java programming language, giving it the ability to run on any platform that supports the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and has the Oracle Help viewer installed.
Familiar user interface: Oracle Help systems contain a user interface that is similar to the Microsoft HTML Help viewer.
Limited features: Some features commonly included in Help authoring tools such as the ability to create special effects, include multimedia or sound files, and add specialized fonts are not supported in Oracle Help. These may be available in the future.
ICE browser: Oracle Help uses the ICE 5.0 browser from ICESoft to render HTML code. This browser currently does not support all of the functionality supported by other browsers such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.
