First example

This tool manages the creation of help files for the wxWidgets htmlhelp format. Items are structured in a tree control, and each item is entered in a simple html editor. Previews of each page is available. All data is stored in a sqlite database. A .htb file is generated from the database, with all the necessary files (hhk, hhc, etc.). A single html document file can also be generated from the database. A htmlhelp viewer for Pyhton is provided.
