Delphi for a while uses the MS Help V2.x help system. It provides the program h2reg.exe to add additional context sensitive help files, such as ones for third party components.
If MS document explorer, the program used to display help, cannot find a certain help page locally, it searches through a bunch of online ressources.
What I need now is the ability to add new online sources. We have a large framework for delphi with an extensive online documentation that is version controlled. If possible we would love if we had not to generate offline .Hx?-files.
Is there a way to accomplish this? I searched the helpware group knowledge base and could not find anything on that.
After talking to somebody formerly on the development team of
MS Document Explorerand nowr2reg, this is not possible. And since MS moved on from MS Help 2 and now usesMS Help Viewer, there will not be any further development to allow for this.
