HTML Help Output

Microsoft HTML Helpis an older HTML-based Help format that runs on Windows 32-bit platforms and requires Internet Explorer on the end users' systems. You can use Microsoft HTML Help to create Help for Windows desktop applications.

The Microsoft HTML Help output consists of a single CHM file that you will distribute to users.

Key Features

Following are some of the key features of the Microsoft HTML Help format:

  • 32-bit Windows Application Support
  • Local This format is a good choice if you want users to store and open the output locally, rather than from a server, such as a website.
  • Single File This format is a good choice if you want to create output that has just one file.

Note Your users need Internet Explorer (4.0 or later) installed and a 32-bit Windows operating system (Windows 95 or later).
