Writing the Help files

Is there a nice easy tool to write your help files - NO, well not from me anyway!

I've thought about making a tool, but never had the time. All the files can be created with any text or HTML-specific editor.

What is needed :-

A set of normal HTML files that make up the pages of your help system. As long as they can be displayed by PureBasic's WebGadget then they should be fine. They should be kept together in a directory, which becomes your top-level Help directory. It can have sub-directories with more pages - that's a good idea to divide things up if your help system is quite big.

A file named "contents.xml" needs to be in the top-level direcory, along with your HTML files. This is used to show the Contents topic list in the viewer (surprise!).

A file named "index.xml" needs to be in the top-level directory. This is used to show the Index list in the viewer.

The XML format for both of these files is fairly simple. Just follow the examples. Most of the lines contain the relative URL for your HTML files. So they will be either simple filenames or may have sub-directory names if you use them. Be careful to get the names right!
