macOS 10.13.4 brought a major overhaul to the Help system, which greatly improves performance and usability. Here are some of its secrets.
Explore and access installed Help books, and lets you add other Help books too. Now for High Sierra too.
No more problems with the ‘wrong’ Help Book: this can now identify and fix those issues. First full release.
It now sorts the popup menu, and reflexively even has its own Help Book – called, as you’d hope, HelpHelp Help.
First development release of a free tool to examine Help Books, their problems, and search Help for specified apps.

Tuning HTML export to produce exactly the right files, and tweaking the appearance. But can it also address a search bug?

Customising HTML export templates to produce a website with stylesheets, which can then be turned into a Help Book – part 1.
