Type: desktop-application

Package: kchmviewer
Name:
  C: KchmViewer
Summary:
  C: A viewer of CHM (MS-Help) files
Description:
  C: |-
    <p>KchmViewer is a chm (MS HTML help file format) viewer, written in C++. Unlike most existing CHM viewers
    for Unix, it uses Trolltech Qt widget library, and does not depend on KDE or GNOME. However, it may be
    compiled with full KDE support, including KDE widgets and KIO/KHTML. The main advantage of KchmViewer
    is non-English language support. Unlike others, KchmViewer in most cases correctly detects help file
    encoding, correctly shows tables of context of Russian, Korean, Chinese and Japanese help files, and
    correctly searches in non-English help files (search for MBCS languages - ja/ko/ch is still in progress).
    Completely safe and harmless. Does not support JavaScript in any way, optionally warns you before opening
    an external web page, or switching to another help file. Shows an appropriate image for every TOC entry.
    KchmViewer Has complete chm index support, including multiple index entries, cross-links and parent/child
    entries in index as well as Persistent bookmarks support. Correctly detects and shows encoding of any
    valid chm file.</p>
