There is usually no need of more than a clear chapter/paragraph division and readable titles. Kudos to softwares with auto-indexing and clickable links.

Why 2003? A single instance isn't enough?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Most technical documentation get pushed to the website where html is preferred for maintenance reasons. I'd rather deal with an html editor than Word any day!

PDF.
It keeps the formatting I gave on every decent device, and almost every tool has an export option to create it...

PageMaker for advertising material.
OpenDocument (LibreOffice) for public documents.
For internal documents I'm using plain text files when placed in source directories and HTML otherwise (to be accessible from the intranet).

Given its status as "the" web-based Portable Document Format...

You are writing using a PDF editor?

You are writing using an HTML editor?

Yes, ahem no, I'm typing.
An finally I'm printing to a PDF.

|
|
|

And this is about formats, not tools!

I think that the question is a bit ambiguous concerning "technical content"...
We use PDF as a "delivery" format for user guides
so I am missing PDF in the list (as OG pointed out)
but for source code documentation I am tempted to use .chm ...

Sorry, lad, but he's right:
PDF is a presentation format. Once upon a time, a secure one so you could post your stuff and NOT have it edited by some cretin or manager.

Any open document format editor can export as PDF. Perhaps that is the reason it is not listed explicitly?

The survey is about formats, not tools.

I prefer the quintessential .readme file type.
|
|
|
|
|
That's not other, but is text.
|
|
|
|
|
You can say the same about HTML.
|
|
|
|
|
A .readme file is just a text file with a different extension.
Sure, a HTML file can be opened with a text editor, but it's not exactly the same as you'd make more sense of it by viewing it with a browser.
