This help controller provides an easy way of displaying HTML help in your

+ application (see @e test sample). The help system is based on @b books
(see wxHtmlHelpController::AddBook). A book is a logical
section of documentation (for example "User's Guide" or "Programmer's Guide" or
"C++ Reference" or "wxWidgets Reference"). The help controller can handle as
many books as you want.

Although this class has an API compatible with other wxWidgets
help controllers as documented by wxHelpController, it
is recommended that you use the enhanced capabilities of wxHtmlHelpController's
API.

wxHTML uses Microsoft's HTML Help Workshop project files (.hhp, .hhk, .hhc) as
its
- native format. The file format is described here.

Have a look at docs/html/ directory where sample project files are stored.

You can use Tex2RTF to produce these files when generating HTML, if you set @b
htmlWorkshopFiles to @b @true in
your tex2rtf.ini file. The commercial tool HelpBlocks (www.helpblocks.com) can
also create these files.
