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. | |
