Key Features

Easy writing and formatting: Manula offers user-friendly formatting tools that allow for effortless writing and formatting of manual topics. Users can utilize simple codes like bold for bold text and italic for italic text. Headers can be created using h2. and h3. Bulleted lists and tables can be easily generated using * and | characters. Code blocks can also be used to display code snippets.

Add images and embed videos: Users can upload images to the Image Manager and easily insert them into topics. Images can be aligned left, center, or right, and captions can be added. The Video Manager allows users to embed videos from platforms such as YouTube, Vimeo, and Wistia directly into manual topics. Embedded videos can support auto-play functionality.

Manage multiple versions and languages: With Manula, users can efficiently manage multiple manuals using a single account. Shared topics can be created and included in multiple manuals, saving time and effort. This feature is particularly useful for managing manuals for different product versions or similar products. Variables can be defined with different values for each user guide, and these variables can be included in shared topics to streamline the manual creation process.

Publish manuals online or as a PDF file: Manula enables users to publish their manuals online instantly, either on the manula.com platform or on their own domain. Private manuals can be created to restrict access and provide username/password authentication for specific viewers. Additionally, users can generate downloadable PDF versions of their manuals. The responsive design of the manuals ensures optimal viewing on any screen size or device.

Built-in super-fast search engine: Manula features a built-in search box that allows readers to quickly and easily search for specific topics. The search functionality encompasses topic titles, topic body text, and defined keywords. Readers can provide feedback by rating topics and posting comments. Users can also access statistics on topic views, ratings, and searches to enhance the quality of their manuals.

Customizable look and feel: Users have the flexibility to customize the appearance of their manuals by incorporating their own colors and logos. Further customization options are available through the Custom CSS feature.
