#### 16.1.5 Evaluating WebHelp

WebHelp is a proprietary Help format; to generate WebHelp, you must have RoboHelp installed on your system. To produce WebHelp-compatible output with DITA2Go, you generate HTML Help, then import the HTML Help project file into RoboHelp.

Generating HTML Help produces contents and index files; when you import the HTML Help project file into RoboHelp, you get the whole contents and index. However, index links in WebHelp can point only to the beginning of a topic. When an indexed item can be displayed at the top of the screen after a jump, users do not have to guess why this particular topic came up for that index entry; this is especially important for topics that contain long tables of values. WebHelp deprives you of that option; see §16.5.7 Specifying index link destinations for HTML-based Help.
