@class wxHtmlHelpController
This help controller provides an easy way of displaying HTML help in your
application (see @e test sample). The help system is based on @b books
(see wxHtmlHelpController::AddBook). A book is a logical
section of documentation (for example "User's Guide" or "Programmer's Guide" or
"C++ Reference" or "wxWidgets Reference"). The help controller can handle as
many books as you want.

Although this class has an API compatible with other wxWidgets
help controllers as documented by wxHelpController, it

The directory @c helpfiles in the @sample{html} contains sample project files.
You can use Tex2RTF to produce these files when generating HTML, if you set @b
htmlWorkshopFiles to @b @true in
your tex2rtf.ini file. The commercial tool HelpBlocks (www.helpblocks.com) can
also create these files.
Note that the Microsoft's HTML Help Workshop
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=00535334-c8a6-452f-9aa0-d597d16580cc)
also runs on other platforms using WINE (http://www.winehq.org/) and it can
be used to create the .hpp, .hhk and .hhc files through a friendly GUI.
The commercial tool HelpBlocks (http://www.helpblocks.com) can also create these files.

This is a combination of these flags:
- wxHF_TOOLBAR: The help window has a toolbar.
- wxHF_FLAT_TOOLBAR: The help window has a toolbar with flat buttons (aka coolbar).
- wxHF_CONTENTS: The help window has a contents panel.
- wxHF_INDEX: The help window has an index panel.
- wxHF_SEARCH: The help window has a search panel.
- wxHF_BOOKMARKS: The help window has bookmarks controls.
- wxHF_OPEN_FILES: Allows user to open arbitrary HTML document.
- wxHF_PRINT: The toolbar contains "print" button.
- wxHF_MERGE_BOOKS: The contents pane does not show book nodes.
All books are merged together and appear as single book to the user.
- wxHF_ICONS_BOOK: All nodes in contents pane have a book icon.
This is how Microsoft's HTML help viewer behaves.
- wxHF_ICONS_FOLDER: Book nodes in contents pane have a book icon, book's
sections have a folder icon. This is the default.
- wxHF_ICONS_BOOK_CHAPTER: Both book nodes and nodes of top-level
sections of a book (i.e. chapters) have a book icon, all other sections
(sections, subsections, ...) have a folder icon.
- wxHF_EMBEDDED: Specifies that the help controller controls an embedded
window of class wxHtmlHelpWindow that should not be destroyed when
the controller is destroyed.
- wxHF_DIALOG: Specifies that the help controller should create a
dialog containing the help window.
- wxHF_FRAME: Specifies that the help controller should create a frame
containing the help window.
This is the default if neither wxHF_DIALOG nor wxHF_EMBEDDED is specified.
- wxHF_MODAL: Specifies that the help controller should create a modal
dialog containing the help window (used with the wxHF_DIALOG style).
- wxHF_DEFAULT_STYLE: wxHF_TOOLBAR | wxHF_CONTENTS | wxHF_INDEX |
wxHF_SEARCH | wxHF_BOOKMARKS | wxHF_PRINT
