+ <p>Unless you installed a binary version of wxWidgets (e.g. under Linux using your distro's

+ <p>The wxWidgets manual is available in various formats; the availability of the following

+
+ <p>To use the manual in the <b>wxHTML Help</b> format (extension <tt>htb</tt>), you
+ can use the <b>HelpView</b> application, compiling it from the <tt>utils/helpview</tt>
+ folder in the wxWidgets distribution.</p>
+
+ <p>Also note that beyond the wxWidgets manual there are various other <strong>resources</strong> which can
+ help to learn wxWidgets programming:</p>
+
