Vista Html Help Workshop: A Comprehensive Guide for Help Authors



Can you modify the program or the contents so that they do not have to use WinHlp32.exe functionality? For example, can you convert the help content that is currently in the .hlp format to an alternative file format such as .chm, .html, or .xml?




Vista Html Help Workshop




Starting with Windows Vista, the older Help component (WinHlp32.exe) is replaced by a new Help component that adds more functionality for newer versions of Windows.The WinHlp32.exe technology will not be supported in its current form in future Windows releases. Therefore, we strongly recommend that software developers no longer use this Windows Help program. Software developers who release programs that rely on .hlp files are encouraged to transition their Help systems to an alternative Help file format, such as .chm, .html, or .xml. They will also have to change their calls from the WinHelp API to the new content source. Several third-party tools are available to help software developers convert Help content from one format to another format.Note Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2 still includes WinHelp.exe for 16-bit .hlp files. The WinHelp.exe program is a version of Windows Help for 16-bit .hlp files.

Precision Helper is a tool for creating and managing help projects. It focuses on the organization of existing html files, xml files, scripts, images and other resources so that the help author has the best overview of the project.The program works natively with the Microsoft HTML Help projects format (HHP) and can publish to the CHM, WebHelp, ePUB (e-book), PDF, and the single html document formats.Precision Helper is designed for advanced developers and authors, but provides a user-friendly environment accessible to beginners.


In preparation for the start of this new program, to provide assistance in completing the necessary applications, and to help operators understand the allowances of a MEHKO operation, a training workshop was held on February 15, 2022. For more information, please view our training workshop videos in English (Arabic, Mandarin, Filipino, Spanish and Vietnamese pending).


The compiled HTML help file format has its pros and cons, its times when it's useful and times when it's not the right tool; for starters, it's not fitted to a single page, as we have, only really for a full manual or something with at least half a dozen pages - for our help.html it'd be functionally overkill. While we could then put pages like the general portable application support in it, I think this would then decrease its usefulness as users then wouldn't get the benefit of up-to-date information which you get by using the online source.


For a complete project like the PortableApps.com Launcher though, having a CHM file is useful, as the new generation documentation I'm writing with Sphinx is many pages already. With Sphinx generating HTML files is make html and making a CHM file is just make htmlhelp and then compile its output with HTML Help Workshop. When it's that easy I think it's useful.
