First off, if I should put this somewhere else, tell me and I will move the message.
Now to the question:
I am wanting to embed a help viewer of some sort in one of my applications, and I would like to know what you guys would recommend. I am using C# 4.0 for the project.
I also would like to know what end-user help designers/compilers/etc you guys like.
I would prefer free/open source software, as I don't have much money.
If push comes to shove, I will create end user help documents and serve them from an embedded CassiniDev server to the user's browser, but I would like an embedded solution of some sort. And no, I don't want to use a CHM file.

Microsoft came up with a pretty good solution to this problem about a decade and a half ago. Have you thought about using a .CHM file?

Yes. That's what the " " was for... evidently it failed...

Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

We offer structured documentation creation and publication services both online using the latest technologies (see demo[^]) or embedded (see the doc inside the product of my signature). Since it is structured, you can "load and display" any part of the document when you need them, which is useful in building context sensitive help or in mobile viewing devices of today. A user can also build multiple languages document easily. However, it is not offered as free service ...
Just for your information since the lacking of proper technical documentation tools has also bothered us for a long time. And we created our own.
