Hi, I downloaded the latest chm help file from Pear, and added it with Settings > Help in PhpED. Seemed to work OK. However, when I open it, I can find no way to access a TOC.

Has anyone had any success integrating the PEAR manual into PhpED?

I sent an email to pear-doc@lists.php.net asking them to put the TOC in the index page, and received an answer that didn't worked. Maybe someone from Nusphere could make it work.

The answer:

You can use pear_manual_en.hhc, included in pear_manual_xx.chm to
extract all necessary information to build a navigational panel.
In addition - the way to parse this file is quite universal and
if the .hhc file is included with .chm and you know it's path inside -
you can easily open integrate almost any .chm

To access the pear_manual_en.hhc file if PEAR help .chm is located at
C:\pear_manual_en.chm use the following url in IE

mk:@MSITStore:C:\pear_manual_en.chm::/pear_manual_en.hhc

problem was with HHC section that has <param> tags closed. In most CHM we worked before, <param> tags were always left unclosed.
We fixed this problem in 4046 and pear's chm works fine.
