Project templates:

A project template is an empty project that stores all the settings you want to use in a project, including all your Project Configuration settings, text styles, HTML templates and so on. Project templates can also include topic content that you want to use in every new project.

Skins:

Skins are applied when you publish to HTML-based output. They apply a complete pre-designed layout to your project with a single click. You can save and edit your own skins or used predefined ones. Skins can only be created with the Professional and Server versions of Help & Manual. You can use existing skins with the Basic version but you cannot save or edit your own skins.

Topic content templates:

Topic content templates are entire topics and can include everything that a topic can include. They can be loaded manually, or automatically when you create a new topic.

Print manual templates: (PDF and printed manuals)

These templates define the layout and appearance of your PDF output and printed manuals. They are created and edited with the Print Manual Designer, a separate program included with Help & Manual.

HTML templates:

These templates define the layout, general appearance and features of your topic pages in Help & Manual's HTML-based output formats. The topic page templates for your topics can be viewed and edited with the Project Explorer in the Configuration > HTML Page Templates section.

The additional HTML templates for the various components of WebHelp (TOC, Index, Search, frameset) can be viewed and edited in Configuration > Publishing Options > WebHelp.

eBook templates:

These templates control the layout and appearance of the viewer used to display Help & Manual's eBook format. They are not editable – you can think of them as predefined "skins" for the eBook viewer.
