I'm not very much in favour of creating "yet another format".
Standards exist, we should try to use them as much as possible.
Linux - has no standard help!
OS X - never used it, so no idea what help format they use.
Windows - Isn't the .hlp and .chm files proprietary? Are we allowed
to copy/implement the .chm format on a platform other than Windows?
Of course. But I meant file formats, not OS formats.
HTML is the most standardized. PDF comes next.
For these formats, components to display them exist.
If you invent your own format, you need to develop
components as well...
What does Qt offer in help formats?
None that I know of, but I haven't studied the matter...
Michael.
