StrongHelpViewer - first release

Hi, I have just published the source code for my latest project, StrongHelpViewer. It is a cross-platform tool written in Java with a graphical UI to give you access to all your StrongHelp manuals wherever you are. While you will surely continue to use !StrongHlp on RISC OS, you can now use StrongHelpViewer on all other platforms with a competent Java Runtime Environment available (Java 7 minimum). You can also use the built-in StrongHelpConverter to produce an HTML version of all your StrongHelp manuals and view it in the web browser of your choice. Instead of endlessly fiddling further with the code I thought it would be a good idea to just release it so that interested people (yes, all three of you!) can tinker with it. Point your browser here: https://github.com/hubersn/StrongHelpViewer You will see a long list of limitations there, and the code is overall a bit ad-hoc (mainly because I totally suck at writing parsers). But it mostly works, and it should allow you to read most StrongHelp manuals out there. At the moment, you need to compile yourself, I will provide a runnable JAR as soon as possible. The code is released under “The Unlicense” to maximize your freedom. |
