RoboHelp Style Manual

Permalink
I'm looking to replace a traditional RoboHelp HTML online manual that has a multi-level table of contents in the left sidebar, that one can navigate and select a document to display in the main area.

RoboHelp allows you to collapse and expand 'books' much like a tree control like the one used by Windows Explorer.

Is there a block or add-on that might help? I understand that Drupal has a 'Book' module that can be used to create structured documents which may be similar to what I'm after.

I don't know of an addon that uses these tree controls (they are generally considered a poor UI widget -- unless your audience is strictly tech folks who are familiar with them already). You might try an accordion widget instead -- here are two in the marketplace:

Otherwise you'll need to look for a javascript/jquery implementation of the tree control and build it out yourself as a Concrete5 block.
