After building a dialog for viewing HTML help documents I discovered that some internet pages caused the QWebView widget to crash. I then had a choice of a) restrict help documentation to local filesystem links only, or b) use the host computer's default browser instead.
I decided to go with option b. Using QDesktopServices requires only one line of code! If the host computer does not have a browser, then the help system will fail, but I'm going to hope that very few users are building QtJSBSim on a platform with no default browser.
The documents themselves have been started. The one partial document in half-German was made just to test the language-switching javascript code.
