Hello Thorsten, that sounds interesting.
However, a bit more information would be welcome.
After I have created a help file with your program, how can the help file be viewed? Is your program required also for viewing the help file, or can some kind of standard program be used (e.g. a HTML browser)?

A Markdown viewer is naturally part of it.
Code: Select all
EasyHelp.exe "Help.mdh" "My Program"

I didn't doubt that.
However, it doesn't answer my question.

The help file is based on Markdown and not on HTML like the CHM files.
Maybe the
Markdown Editor is what you are looking for. With it, an export as PDF is possible.

Update:
- Program parameter 'Label' added.
Code: Select all
EasyHelp.exe Help.mdh "My Program" Label
If the parameter Label is used, the program jumps directly to the topic with this label when called.
