Hello techwr-l!

What is the low-budget/freeware/open-source approach to
a corporate help authoring system on Windows platform?

That is, what is the solution for creating and maintaining a
production help system (context-sensitive help and
manuals) based on open or semi-open standards?

Is there a universal solution like docbook on Linux?

Is there a feasible alternative to commercial packages like Robohelp and the like?

What would be the standard workflow, e.g. RTF -> XML -> HTML/CHM/HLP/PDF.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Viorel
