MadCap Software Forums

Hello,
I’m interested in seeing some examples of Webhelp Mobile output for applications built for tablets.

Can anyone provide links to the examples that can be accessed from a browser?

I’d like to take a look using a desktop browser and a tablet browser.

Can anyone provide links to discussions about writing for tablets? I’m interested in better understanding if there are basic style differences between tablet application and desktop applications.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I've don't think I've seen any real examples of WebHelp Mobile, only MadCap's knowledgebase here:

This post might have some useful info on mobile content:

My assumption is that tablets can generally deal with standard WebHelp. The mobile WebHelp is geared towards phones with noticeably smaller screens. At least the Kindle Fire is perfectly happy with plain WebHelp...don't have any other tablets to test.

I recently created some help for smartphones and tablets. I used the mobile webhelp for both. The tablet version of our app has the same help URL as the mobile version of the app. I added some responsive styling to change the screenshot size for the two outputs, but that's about it. You can see it here: https://ue.ldschurch.org/mobile/gla. I also wrote a blog post detailing some realizations and tips on writing for mobile.
