| 53 | |
| 54 | This class implements help via an external browser. |
| 55 | It requires the name of a directory containing the documentation |
| 56 | and a file mapping numerical Section numbers to relative URLS.<P>The map file contains two or three fields per line: |
| 57 | numeric_id relative_URL [; comment/documentation]<P>The numeric_id is the id used to look up the entry in |
| 58 | DisplaySection()/DisplayBlock(). The relative_URL is a filename of |
| 59 | an html file, relative to the help directory. The optional |
| 60 | comment/documentation field (after a ';') is used for keyword |
| 61 | searches, so some meaningful text here does not hurt. |
| 62 | If the documentation itself contains a ';', only the part before |
| 63 | that will be displayed in the listbox, but all of it used for search.<P>Lines starting with ';' will be ignored.<P>This confuses DOC++, so I leave it out for now: |
