-press enter on ZIP file and it's content is displayed like it's

\wxheading{Classes}
Three classes are used in order to provide full VFS:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item \helpref{wxFSFile}{wxfsfile} class provides information
+\begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt
+\item The \helpref{wxFSFile}{wxfsfile} class provides information
on opened file (name, input stream, mime type and anchor).
-
-\item \helpref{wxFileSystem}{wxfilesystem} class is interface.
-It's main methods are ChangePathTo() and OpenFile(). This class
+\item The \helpref{wxFileSystem}{wxfilesystem} class is the interface.
+Its main methods are ChangePathTo() and OpenFile(). This class
is most often used by the end user.
-
-\item \helpref{wxFileSystemHandler}{wxfilesystemhandler} is the core
+\item The \helpref{wxFileSystemHandler}{wxfilesystemhandler} is the core
if VFS mechanism. You can derive your own handler and pass it to
wxFileSystem's AddHandler() method. In the new handler you only need to
overwrite OpenFile() and CanOpen() methods.
Locations (aka filenames aka addresses) are constructed from 4 parts:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item {\bf protocol} - handler can regonize if it is able to open some
-file by checking it's protocol. Examples are "http", "file" or "ftp"
-
+\begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt
+\item {\bf protocol} - handler can recognize if it is able to open a
+file by checking its protocol. Examples are "http", "file" or "ftp".
\item {\bf right location} - is the name of file within the protocol.
-In "http://www.wxwindows.org/index.html" the right location is "//www.wxwindows.org/index.html"
-
+In "http://www.wxwindows.org/index.html" the right location is "//www.wxwindows.org/index.html".
\item {\bf anchor} - anchor is optional and is usually not present.
-In "index.htm\#chapter2" the anchor is "chapter2"
-
-\item {\bf left location} - this is usually empty string.
+In "index.htm\#chapter2" the anchor is "chapter2".
+\item {\bf left location} - this is usually an empty string.
It is used by 'local' protocols such as ZIP.
See Combined Protocols paragraph for details.
\end{itemize}
In this example, protocol is "zip", left location is
"reference/fopen.htm", anchor is "syntax" and right location
-is "file:archives/cpp_doc.zip". It is used by zip handler
+is "file:archives/cpp\_doc.zip". It is used by zip handler
to determine in what file this particular zip VFS is stored.
-In fact there are two protocols used in this example : zip and file.

You can construct even more complicated addresses like this one:
http://www.archives.org/myarchive.zip\#zip:local/docs/cpp/stdio.zip\#zip:index.htm
In this example you access zip VFS stdio.zip stored in another zip (myarchive.zip)
-which is at WWW. Enjoy it :-)
