-The files in this directory are edited and compiled via a tool that generates -output in two formats: HTML Help (CHM) and Javascript-enabled HTML. +The Programming Reference source consists of XML-based DocBook files, +custom XSLT and CSS files, and a catalog file for resolving URIs. Two +sets of utilities are used to translate the sources into HTML Help +(CHM) format.

-The specific tool currently used is WinCHM, which is a shareware application -available from http://www.softany.com/winchm/ As of October 2006, Softany -provides a near-fully-functional evaluation version for download. +First, you will need a version of xsltproc and its dependencies.
