Or if you served it up by a ContentProvider.

1. WebView

2. TextView (with light HTML content) in a ScrollView

3. Launch the default browser on your Web site

4. Launch the default browser on a help file (and images, JS, CSS,
etc.) you serve from a ContentProvider

5. Launch the default browser on a help file (and images, JS, CSS,
etc.) you stick on external storage
