Help2HTM

Help2HTM converts Windows Help file sets to one of two formats:

• HTML : Files can be viewed in Netscape 4.x/6.x, Mozilla or Internet Explorer 5/6. (Other web browsers can also be used, subject to web browser quality considerations.) A Javascript contents/index control is generated, as appropriate, providing a user interface similar to that of the Windows CHM format. View the current Winteracter release notes to see an example of a HTML file set generated by Help2HTM.
• HTML Help (CHM) : Files can be viewed using the Windows HH help viewer, which is standard on Windows 98/Me and 2000/XP. HH is also present on Windows 95/NT4, where IE4 or later is installed. (Note: Only the Windows version of Help2HTM generates CHM output. Compilation of the final CHM file requires installation of Microsoft's HTML Help Workshop.)

Help2HTM allows on-line documentation to be maintained in a single source format, while targetting both Windows and Linux. The same documentation can also be made available to Internet or intranet users.

Help2HTM is primarily designed to used with HelpEd, our Windows Help file builder. In fact HelpEd includes a built-in version of Help2HTM, as of v5.0. However, Help2HTM can also be used standalone to convert Windows Help files created using some third party tools. For example, it has been used successfully to convert help files created in Microsoft Word. Help2HTM can convert both text and pictures (bitmaps + metafiles) in this case.
