About Microsoft HTML Help
Microsoft HTML Help is an online Help standard based on HTML.
HTML uses tags to mark elements, such as text and graphics, in a document with display instructions. HTML Help
includes HTML documents (HTM files) for the topics, along with project source files. You use RoboHelp to add
features such as links, a table of contents, an index, special effects, and related topics buttons.
You distribute a compressed file (CHM) to users that they view in the HTML Help viewer.
The main components of HTML Help include the following:
Supports navigation features such as the table of contents, index, and link controls (related
HTML Help ActiveX control
topics and keyword links). It also supports HTML Help controls: WinHelp topic links, startup screens, and close
window controls.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and later supply the required components for HTML Help support.

HTML Help viewer
