• It's quite compact (32K for the moment).
• It's fast.
• It can insert vector files (and bitmap).
• It supports compression of datas through the Squash module.
• There is a protocol allowing for a word lookup in the StrongHelp database with a keystroke from your favourite text editor!

While building a complex stronghelp manual, you can get lost with the number of links to handle (as you would with a HTML page). Musus Umbra programmed an utility called StrongTest to test validity of links in a StrongHelp manual. It uses the Throwback protocol to generate a list of errors. One double-click and you're directed in the file where the error occured. As source file is also given, you may also improve it if you like !

My own manuals

• Computer Glossary: A mini dictionnary of a number of several computer or internet-related jargon. Could be used for mere browsing or for instant translation from within text editor.
• 
  A better alternative would be to have FOLDOC, the On-line Computer Dictionnary, converted into a StrongHelp manual. Instead of converting by hand, a utility could be written in C so that its author (Dennis Howe) can do the operation from within his environnement. Basically, what's needed is a HTML to StrongHelp converter. If you think you can come up with something, please contact Dennis Howe, not me !

• POVray3 hypertext help: A while ago, I did a POV2.2 StrongHelp (version 1) manual. Then I was stuck for converting it to StrongHelp 2 because of the lack of conversion tools for that. And then POVray3 came out. And then, I had to start from scratch the whole thingie. It's now bigger, with some technical schemes from time to time, but it's not complete. It lacks the texture section (pigment, finish, normals, patterns, etc...). If you think you can achieve something better, it's OK for me. Just send me an e-mail for notification, please, and an URL to retrieve the updated version with a browser. THIS MANUAL IS BASED ON POVRAY 3.0 LARGELY SUPERCEDED BY POVRAY 3.1
