HelpViewer implementation for the eWriter online help format

[Alexander Halser 26]

This is an implementation of the eWriter help format as a replacement for HTML Help (.chm) files in Delphi applications.

 

EWriter eBooks are the modern alternative to the obsolete CHM format for local application help. They offer full support for context-sensitive help and file links. They combine the benefits of CHM and WebHelp and eliminate the disadvantages of both. To create eWriter eBooks, you can either use our freeware HTML compiler eWriter Creator or our commercial help authoring tool Help+Manual, which creates this format out of the box.

 

The package includes the unit Vcl.EwriterHelpViewer.pas which implements support for the eWriter help format in Delphi’s help system. Applications currently using CHM files for application help can switch to eWriter help with basically no changes. The distributable eWriter viewer is included. The package is available from the download link below and from the GetIt Package Manager.
