18.3 Setting up an HTML Help project

To produce an HTML Help system you will need HTML Help Workshop, which you can download from the Microsoft Library:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms669985.aspx

Documentation for HTML Help Workshop is available from the same site.

If you plan to generate HTML Help in non-Western languages, you will also need the ICU library; see §18.12 Generating HTML Help in non-Western languages.
