Fei Min,
Yes, both Omnihelp and OracleHelp for Java are very fast and very flexible.
Both the HTML Help Workshop help and Mif2Go Users Guide, discuss how to go
about creating the tags necessary to make context-sensitive help work. The
primary thing, from what i have have found, is the calls from the help to the
application requires close coordination between the help and application
developers to determine a mutually agreeable tag content.

Okay, point taken. We won’t worry about all the HTML files being exposed in
OmniHelp. And our software developer did notice how fast it was.
So we’re looking at context-sensitive help to see if we can get that to work in
MS Help Viewer or anything else. It’s not a requirement right now, especially
if it’s going to add any significant time to the schedule, but I’m convinced
that it’s a key feature that can enhance the user experience, and one of the
few advantages that HTML can provide over PDF. If we don’t implement it this
time around, I’d like to include it next time.

Fei Min,
Personally I think you are stabbing at windmills. It isn't all that difficult
to decompile a CHM, make a change, and recompile. How many do?
I produce OracleHelp for Java from Frame source. It also produces HTML for the
content. It is delivered as server based, but there is nothing to prevent
someone changing the HTML. Haven't heard of anyone doing it.

Okay, that would explain why no one seems to be using Eclipse Help unless it's
an Eclipse product. :-)
We're concerned about the OmniHelp files on the theory that if people can do
something, someone will. That could be a completely unfounded concern, so I'm
glad to hear opinions to the contrary.

I agree with Jeremy, standalone EclipseHelp is a huge and complicated
distributable. It's not a practical format. I'm not sure if there's a use case
where it would make sense.
Why would users mess with your help files?
