From 7a4700f5f5afcea1580ec4fcfb628afe6beb3e6b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Tatham Date: Mon, 11 Dec 2006 19:43:10 +0000 Subject: Support for the MS HTML Help system in the HTML back end. As yet I don't know how to write out a .CHM directly, but I am at least able to have the HTML back end write out the three auxiliary files which enable a .CHM to be generated using the MS HTML Help compiler.
