11 @class wxExtHelpController
12
13 This class implements help via an external browser.
14 It requires the name of a directory containing the documentation
15 and a file mapping numerical Section numbers to relative URLS.
16
17 The map file contains two or three fields per line:
18 numeric_id relative_URL [; comment/documentation]
19
20 The numeric_id is the id used to look up the entry in
21 DisplaySection()/DisplayBlock(). The relative_URL is a filename of
22 an html file, relative to the help directory. The optional
23 comment/documentation field (after a ';') is used for keyword
24 searches, so some meaningful text here does not hurt.
25 If the documentation itself contains a ';', only the part before
26 that will be displayed in the listbox, but all of it used for search.
27
28 Lines starting with ';' will be ignored.
