digitalmars.D.announce - CHM (HTML Help) for D documentation

reply "Vladimir Panteleev" <thecybershadow gmail.com> writes:
Some time ago I wrote a program that converts the D HTML documentation included
with the Digital Mars compiler to a Compiled HTML help file.

I updated the program, built some fresh CHMs and created a webpage:

  http://thecybershadow.net/d/docs/

You can find more information, the CHMs and the program itself on the webpage.

O! This is that i dream about - D syntax file for Colorer!!!
We just should wait for FAR 1.8 with unicode support and FAR + D will be
perfect for me :)

Very big thanks.

Welcs :) The glitch is from the original HTML file; it has been fixed on the
website shortly after 1.023's release but is still in the ZIP package.

Mr. Panteleev thanks for CHM! However for some reasons I cannot use 
d2.chm when I save it on my HDD... Strangely, when I open it directly 
from the web it works. Any clues why?

Thanks in advanced.

Mr. Panteleev, I do not know what arguments FireFox gives to xCHM. :( 
All I know is that when I open d2.chm directly from FireFox (ie. click 
on it), it opens xCHM and everything seem to work fine.
When I, as i said previously, save that file localy, in, let's say 
~/tmp/d2.chm, it does not work...

You have some issues with xchm then or a broken download. Both files work
fine here with xchm and kchmviewer.

if you open the file from FireFox and then in a command prompt run 

ps -A -f | grep chm

you should get a  short list of programs (inlcuding the CHM view) and there 
Command line args. If xCHM doesn't immediately quit when you try to load 
from the HDD then you can do the same there and compare the args. It might 
tell you something.

I noticed the discussion on IRC and asked you about it, but didn't get a reply.
I don't know why wouldn't it work for you specifically... I noticed you use a
non-Windows OS, so I can't be sure what exactly's wrong (too many unknowns).
One thing that could help you troubleshoot the problem is check the exact
command-line arguments to your CHM reader program when you open the file from
the web and from your HDD (use a process list utility to check what parameters
were passed to it) - it's possible that the browser is passing (or not passing)
it some extra arguments that make the difference.
