Generating .qhc files from html files

coolhead

Hi frnds,
I am a beginner so please excuse me if this is a basic question. I need to generate help documentation for my application and I want to use Qt assistant as a custom help viewer. I have the html documentation files. I want to know how I can generate the .qhc file from these html files and how i can set the contents,index and bookmarks in the qt assistant . The help examples provided are not of much help or may be I was not able to understand them. Thank you.

Do you use qdoc3 for help generation? Or doxygen?

I have written my own HTML files :P

Ugh, no idea, then. You can take a look at qhelpconverter and qhelpgenerator located in Qt's bin directory, but I don't know any more details about them - qdoc and doxygen handle that part automatically :)

Thank you for your help. I think I got what I want in qhelpgenerator. Actually I was having problem with installing doxygen. So had to write my own html files.Had no idea about qdoc3. Thanx once again.

Did you already look at the documentation for the help system?

"The Qt Help Framework":/doc/qt-4.8/qthelp-framework.html overview
"Qt Help module":/doc/qt-4.8/qthelp.html API docs

Hey coolhead, could you give us a tip how you have converted the html files using qhelpgenerator. I have a bunch of htmls that i want to combine in one qhc file. Please help
