PureBasic help display

Post by wawavoun »

Hello,

I use Kubuntu 22.04 LTS and have some problem to get the help displayed.

In fact comparing to Windows using Help / Help in the menu under Linux give the display of the left part of the help windows (the part with Summary - Index - Search... on top). It is possible to navigate in this part and to develop branches etc...
The right part of the windows with the selected item help text did not appear...

I try to run PureBasic from console expecting to see an error message about a missing library or something like that but nothing...

Is there anything I can do to solve this problem ?

Thanks.
Philippe

Is it possible that the SplitterGadget has moved to the far right?

You can also add commands as a tool to open chm file.

There are not purebasic chm files

Besides, the problem is solved with pb help page. :wink:

You can take it from the version for Windows. There are many reasons to do this, for example, Russian help is only in the chm file, the second reason is that I had a problem copying the example on the help file page. Indirect reasons: the Russian chm-file has been recompiled and has additional features - convenient code highlighting, links on code elements, Russian words in the tree. These things definitely force me to use only the chm file, despite the problem that the help file opens a new help instance each time.

That may be correct,

But that was not the question, but why the content of the help was not displayed. It was the splitter bar on the far right. 8)
