All about helpd and HelpViewer, how they index and maintain Help books. And what has gone wrong recently, including an odd difference between Intel and Apple silicon Macs.
Help Crafter
A simple way to provide a proper Help book for your app, and separate PDF documentation without wasted effort. Uses Swift in Xcode.
I realised that almost everything listed in my Downloads page was still in beta. Finishing off is important, and requires a proper Help book.
Is Sierra’s Apple Help on its way out? If not, how does it differ from that documented 8 years ago for Leopard – when the current docs were last revised.
So how can you add proper help to your app? Amazingly, Xcode’s Help doesn’t even mention Help. It’s time to invest in Help Crafter.
