+{\bf WARNING!} Although this class has an API compatible with other wxWindows

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

-
-\begin{verbatim}

It is strongly recommended to use preprocessed {\bf .hhp.cached} version of
projects. It can be either created on-the-fly (see
-\helpref{SetTempDir}{wxhtmlhelpcontrollersettempdir}) or you can use
+\helpref{SetTempDir}{wxhtmlhelpcontrollersettempdir}) or you can use
{\bf hhp2cached} utility from {\it utils/hhp2cached} to create it and
