This is quick tutorial how to integrate HelpXplain presentations into WordPress.
Is this possible at all? Yes, it is. But you need little manual coding.
You get the raw HTML code for integration from HelpXplain directly. Export in HelpXplain and let you show the actual embed code for your Xplain. This is the code we need to paste in WordPress. Right after the <div> tag, which acts as a placeholder for the Xplain, we add a <script> tag with a reference to the xploader.js script. This script will do the rest.
Here is the code example once again, with nice formatting:
This is a WordPress blog. So you can test the result of the code above right here:

We are glad to announce the immediate availability of Help+Manual 9.7.1! This maintenance update includes the new/updated screen capture tool from SnipSVG 2.0.
Have you ever tried to re-capture a screenshot and struggled to make it exactly the same size as the old one? This is what the new window sizer tool is for. It resizes a window that you want to capture to an exact pixel size. The function is right where you need it: it comes up with a right-click during the screen capture. Select from a list of predefined common sizes or enter the exact values you need.
Most application windows on Windows 11 have rounded corners and a translucent 1-pixel border around them. The updated screen capture tool trims the borders automatically, but you can switch this option on or off.
All updates are available from our download page.

We have just released a small update to Premium Pack 5 that basically just adds compatibility with the new SnipSVG 2.0. All the skins in the Premium Pack now support the new animated SVGs and SVGs with embedded web video created by SnipSVG 2.0. There are just a couple of other small fixes.
You can download and install the update with the link and credentials you received when you purchased. If you no longer have these, just contact support by email and we will help you out.

We are glad to announce the immediate availability of Help+Manual 9.7 and an updated Translation Assistant. This is in fact quite a large update, although most of the changes remain mostly “invisible”.
The most important change concerns the DeepL translation plugin and the DeepL bulk translation function in the Translation Assistant. Both applications have switched to the latest version of the DeepL translation API.

It’s this time of the year again. We wish all our users a Merry Christmas and a peaceful holiday season! Whether you celebrate it with your family, with friends, just by yourself or not at all, enjoy the days.
And just in case you still need an idea for a last minute gift: how about giving away free software?
SnipSVG, our free image editor and screen capture tool for Windows and Mac is the perfect giveaway: just buy a small USB stick and install SnipSVG in portable mode, directly on the thumb drive. Wrap it nicely and give it to someone who you love and who loves being creative.
Our Christmas card this year comes as an SVG file. Created with SnipSVG, of course. What else?
Albeit this one was created with the very latest internal version, which already has a couple of new features. For instance, we find it kind of cool to embed web videos into screenshots, especially when the screenshot is a single self-contained SVG file. So, if you wonder if this “play” button in the image below is clickable, just give it a try 🙂 Enjoy!
