We would like to clarify here that, of course, the IETM name indicates technical manual, but actually it is not any document i.e. PDF, MS Word, or another document format.

As the name suggests, it’s interactive and used in electronic devices i.e. systems, PDAs, etc.

There is a misconception about IETM. As the name indicates interactive, then people assume that it is a 3d based on blowup software. Interactive means, users can browse or cross-refer or interact with the software to search on a particular topic/sub-topic. Users can save bookmarks and annotate text etc.
