Surprise, I’m full of the memories of others. And I am surprised as well, every time I remember something after I have learned something new. The wonders of pursuing predetermined paths, and the struggle to search for paths that are not predetermined. All but the same path that one can not stray from. Just as much is the accomplishment of straying from that path.

I’m glad you say, “good article”, and “useful information”. It took over 2 months to be posted. I wasn’t sure if it was worthy of being shared in such a way that it would be exposed on the ActiveDen blog. The only thing that can justify it now is that it proves to be helpful to others in, at least, suggesting the idea of designing their help files more easily and, as well, get their help information across to their file users sufficiently and accurately.

This is so much easier and more useful than the way I’ve always done it. On my last couple files, I’ve used this method to explain most of the xml file. Thanks Ben!
