Obsidian for Writing Manuals (lemmy.world)

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.

Now, what constitutes 'being pregnant'? Does it begin when the egg is fertilized? Or does it begin when one has unprotected sex that will eventually lead to the egg being fertilized?

And, what constitutes 'being dead'? Is it when the brain doesn't function anymore? How would we classify a person, who is comatose, catatonic or braindead, then? Does death commence when the last cell in the body is dead? Would one then be considered alive, when a patch of skin is not 'dead' yet?

It's nice to stake out the grey area of any topic, but if we are honest, it's a never-ending game, that in your case intends to stall a conversation. Common sense tells you exactly what is work. If you are not sure, then discuss it with someone, ask a lawyer or make up your own opinion. Obsidian devs will not persecute anyone for using their software commercially without buying a commercial license. If you feel entitled to do so, then do so, but don't try to disassemble the context to justify your actions.
