PureHELP Maker : fast help builder for userlibraries

gnozal · Post by **gnozal** » Mon Dec 27, 2004 8:42 am

PureHELP Maker 1.04 (AUG 23th 2011)

Overview

PureHELP Maker is a tool to fast build help files for your libraries.
You can :
    - extract library information (functions, arguments, quick help) ;
    - modify the extracted information ;
    - preview the help files ;
    - build the HTML files (including the index and TOC files) ;
    - compile the HTML help files to a single CHM help file ;
    - save the project for later use.
The generated HTML files have the purebasic help file look.

Thanks to El Choni for the userlibrary structure information

Hi Gnozal, same as with SMTP-Auth.
If only I had known - many hours...

No, I havenÂ´t written a Help Maker, but IÂ´ve spent some time
to make a Help-File.
With your App I had it written in minutes.
Great work with your Purehelp Help Maker!

best regards

Really impressive. It's a very good job.
Do you think you will make a multi-lingual version for this software and for the generated html files?

Thank you for that

in the html file created, you must add </body></html> at the end

A suggestion : You must add a function to insert heading like in HTML Help Workshop

there are a lot of html error

here, the original file

Code: Select all

<HTML><HEAD><title>ColorTint()</title><meta name= "GENERATOR"content="PureHELP Maker (c) gnozal"></HEAD>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFDF" link="#009999" vlink="#006666" alink="#006666">
<font face="Arial" size="2"><p align="center"><b><font size="4">ColorTint() </Font></b></p>
<p><b>Syntax</b></p><blockquote>
<font color="#006666"><b>ColorTint</b></Font>(Couleur, Echelle.f)
</blockquote><p><b>Description</b></p><blockquote><pre><font face="Arial" size="2">
Changer la teinte d'une couleur (Echelle comprise entre -1 et 1)
</blockquote></pre>
<br><br><br><center><a href=index.html>Effect - index</a></center>

and here, the correction

there are a lot of html error

It seems to work for me (final CHM files or HTML files with Opera). Do you have display problems ?
Anyway, I will correct this error :

Code: Select all

</font> 
</body> 
</html>

Thanks for the report.

I don't have HTML Help Workshop.

Hello,

Very good work!

That's right it would be good if there would have a multi-languages support.
Thanks again for your good work.
