Would this be an opportunity to convert the help to one unified, cross-platform format? One obvious possibility is HTML. Although it lacks the nice indexing a nd cross referencing facilities of winhelp, it would allow linux/macOS/win* plus web documentation in one hit. This would presumably be plus for maintainability. |

What I meant is that winhelp has built-in index and search facility. There is already an html version of the gnuplot built-in help command http://amath.colorado.edu/computing/software/man/gnuplot.html#2635 so I suppose the browser text search provides a rudimentary search ability although it's not as useful as winhelp topics can be in finding which match relates to what you are looking for. Maybe the help itself could be more helpful. I've spend quite some time this evening trying to plot a sine wave [0:100] but it comes out really clunky and distorted. I've been unable to suss out how to set the interval to something more than useful than four points per cycle. That is more a criticism of the content than the format though. |

What I meant is that winhelp has built-in index and search > facility. What's wrong with the PDF help? It has figures, cross-indexing, an index, etc, generated from TeX. In principle one can similarly generate HTML docs from the same TeX document, but I have not been able to find a very good latex->html convertor. There are several old projects, but none of them seems to be maintained or up to date. > Maybe the help itself could be more helpful.

Hello Thank you for your information. I will write the note for the distriution page and my web pase written in Japanese. Anyway I will try to newer help format by Microsoft HTML help workshop. Perhaps it will take a lot of time :-).
