An Automated HTML Help Builder and Runtime Display Engine
Senior Project: 1996-1997
Michael Barklage, David Davenport, Jason Kane, Daniel Nanto and Joshua Poley
QSoft is a small development company which specializes in database and
multimedia technologies. Often the need for online help documentation arises.
As HTML is rapidly becoming the standard for document markup, online help is
often distributed in the form of HTML documents. Unfortunately, the wide
variety of web browsers currently available does not allow the user to index,
search, and hierarchically organize tens, hundreds, or thousands of web pages.
The goal of this project was to develop tools designed specifically for
generating, viewing, and navigating HTML help documents. This involves the
automated processing of HTML documents, creating tables of contents with
drill-down capability, and adding advanced searching capability to quickly
locate the document and position of desired information. Development was done
in C++ for a Windows 95 environment using an object-oriented approach.
