Are there any .chm creators for OS X?

1.7k Views Asked by At

I'm looking for a .chm creator on Mac, but can't seem to find one? There seems to only be .chm readers for OS X.

Are there any .chm creators for OS X?

Thanks

Yes. The Free Pascal compiler has a creator library, which also should work on Mac.

Note that this is just a chm compiler, iow something that compiles .html (and .hhc/.hhk/.hhp) into a .chm.

The library is already in current editions of the Free Pascal project (2.4.2). A commandline frontend (a chm compiler that understands .hhp) is currently only in development releases (but will go live in the current months in 2.4.4 and 2.6.0)

Update: the commandline compiler is now live in 2.6.0. It doesn't support all features (like merging chms)

Probably not, because .chm files are specific to Windows, and are deprecated even there. Are you trying to produce Apple Help files? If so, check out the Apple Help Programming Guide.
