Obsidian for Writing Manuals
Obsidian for Writing Manuals
Is Obsidian a good tool to use for writing technical manuals? I would like to write an Operation Manual for municipality's water system. There will be embedded screenshots and some links to other sections of the document.
Ideally we could "publish" to offline html. The customer would also like a printed manual.
If Obsidian is no good, I would love suggestions on software you have used to write short manuals with pictures, preferably not Word.

@gelberhut @effingjoe if I am a freelancer who gets paid for work done using #obsidian this doesn't apply. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I see same text as you. As @EpiphanicSynchronicity@pkm.social] already mentioned, it looks like you are working in an organization which includes less then 2 people. Your customers are not your employer.
@tamowafy @gelberhut @effingjoe AFAIK you need to be working in a for-profit organization with 2 or more employees to need a commercial license for #Obsidian.
Agree.
@EpiphanicSynchronicity @tamowafy @gelberhut @effingjoe “the use of OBSIDIAN for the exercise of your own trade or profession for which you are compensated compensation (e.g. teamwork with colleagues, writing work reports, etc.) does not qualify as Personal Use”

@gelberhut Sorry, should have done that: https://obsidian.md/terms
Thanks! Strange that they did not put this in FAQ.
