Hi,
i like to inform that khelpcenter is now able to display KDE
documentations on windows systems (tested with Windows xp). There were
some issues in the kio_help slave which prevents displaying of pages and
images.
Searching through the whole documentation is disabled and *not* ported
because of the following reasons:
- the unix version of khelpcenter uses htdig as external tool for
indexing and searching which isn't ported in the kde context yet.
- For KDE 4.x strigi is used as a "buildin" desktop search engine and if
it would be able to index and search KDE docs too, htdig could be
dropped to avoid having multiple search engines in KDE 4. The strigi
homepage http://strigi.sourceforge.net/?q=features#supported_files lists
some oasis format, so indexing xml seem to be possible, but html and
docbook are not explicit listed, so I cannot say if this would be possible.
Regards
Ralf
