+is recommended that you use the enhanced capabilities of wxHtmlHelpController's API.
This help controller provides an easy way of displaying HTML help in your
application (see {\it test} sample). The help system is based on {\bf books}
You can use Tex2RTF to produce these files when generating HTML, if you set {\bf htmlWorkshopFiles} to {\bf true} in
your tex2rtf.ini file.
-In order to use the controller in your application under Windows you must
-have the following line in your .rc file:
-
-\begin{verbatim}
-#include "wx/html/msw/wxhtml.rc"
-\end{verbatim}

\wxheading{Note}
It is strongly recommended to use preprocessed {\bf .hhp.cached} version of
distribute the cached version together with helpfiles. See {\it samples/html/help}
sample for demonstration of its use.
