Re: [Cdk-jchempaint] Help generation

[Stefan K. <ste...@eb...>]

Hi Konstantin,
many thanks for looking at that. Help was a real problem. Another thing which 
I think we should have is
- a table of contents, which could be done manually
- an index, which can not be done manually
JavaHelp would take care of that, but JavaHelp is incompatible with our 
license. Does anybody have an idea about something like JavaHalp compatible 
with LGPL? Or have another idea about how to have toc/index?
Stefan
