This project provides a free, open source, program to help manage the development of HTML Help (CHM) files. There are other programs out there that build the HTML Help files, but our experience is that they are either not free and open source, are limited in the format of the resulting help files, or are restrictive in terms of licensing. Thus the reason for developing this project.
All help system project files (including configuration options) are stored as plain text (or XML) files. This allows collaboration during help system development, using tools such as git to manage all changes to the help project source code repository.
The graphical user interface provides for easy management of the help system directory tree, along with WYSIWYG development of the individual help pages.
The system also supports the use of templates for HTML formatting.
The program is written in C#, and has been developed and compiled using MS Visual Studio.
The project is currently in the planning stage and we're looking for people who would like to contribute to the development. If you're interested, please join us in the Developers forum.
