I am a embedded programmer on a project; and, I have decided that I need to write directions on how to setup the development environment.
It uses Windows 7 32 bit or 64 bit as the OS the toolchain runs under.
About a decade past, I would have used RichText files (RTF) to do the documentation; but, I was wondering if there is a better FLOSS or free (no cost) option.
If RTF is still the best; what editor to use?
What format is best for the images mainly from screen shots?
png etc.

Why not use Doxygen and choose your output (https://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/manual/output.html)?
Because it is *not* possible!Quote:

LibreOffice or OpenOffice are good choices for creating documentation, and can directly output PDF for publishing.
Of course it's possible. You don't have the "comments" in source code ya know (doxygen can use many sources for its information and comments in source files is just one)Quote:

I have decided to try OpenOffice in the idea I will see if it works and what features are needed.
Long term I am thinking of trying Docbook and/or doxygen; but, for my current needs those likely have a too long learning curve.
