Hello.
As you may have noticed, I've been working on HtmlHelp lately. Currently it should generally work, but still there is a lot to do. HTML should be correctly displayed and content tab should work. I was thinking about making more use of it in Wine. I think winecfg could benefit from it. We could easily add context help to winecfg using HtmlHelp API. Even just integrating a part of Wine User's Guide would be a good start. The main problem is building chm file (that is the file format of HtmlHelp). Microsoft has a HtmlHelp compiler (hhc) for it. We'd need something similar in Wine. AFAIK there is no good open source replacement. HtmlHelp maker (hhc, see [1]) doesn't create internal files (parts of chm that describes stuff like index or default topic) and it's GPLed so it's useless for Wine (unless author would relicense it for us). I think it would be a good project for Google Summer of Code. The task would be to write a hhc replacement and add a help option to winecfg. hhc replacement (say whhc) would have to be a plain UNIX tool (it means a bit of code duplication with itss.dll, just like we do in widl) so we could use it during compilation. I think its difficulty is good for SoC. Compressing code may be integrated from some other project. The remaining parts are code of parser of files describing chm and a little winecfg hacking. What do you think?
