Adding Help to a Cocoa App

Question

I want to add a simple one-page HTML page help to my Cocoa app. Can you tell me how to do it? I assume I just have to throw in one lousy .html (and maybe one .css?) file somewhere into my Cocoa project in Xcode?

Answer 1

Creating Apple Help documents that are opened in the Help viewer is straightforward but you must follow the directions in the documentation exactly.

Help files are HTML but you need to place a couple of special tags in the page and name the files in a particular way.

It's all explained in the documentation.

Answer 2

Today I've been facing the same problem. I found no up-to-date howto so here is one of my own. Help is nicely working with this Step by Step to create Apple Help in your Cocoa Xcode Application.
