i've used it a bit. i never looked closely at the HTML it generates. if you
can get away with using its output great, but i suspect it may not really be
usable for production code. however, i could be wrong.

Axure can generate WinHelp output (.CHM files) with the latest 4.4 release
and if the original interactivity is structured the right way, it could
exceed many tools used for Help authoring.

it's less suitable for demos. you're better off using a dedicated tool like
Captivate (formerly RoboDemo) or even Camtasia for that.
