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.

    I also see the definition of “work use” rather fuzzy. I have discussed this on Reddit some time ago. And conclusion was: if it is somehow work related you need a license, does matter if you share your voult or on not.

    Practically, obsidian does not hunt for people who use the soft without a proper license.

    On the other hand obsidian is developed by 2 people, I believe 3 now.

    Btw, your employer most probably will disagree with your definition of personal notes as well and the fact that you install obsidian on a work hardware.
