A converter that transforms cppreference.com offline HTML archives into Microsoft Help (msha) files for Visual Studio 2012+ and CHM help files for Windows. It uses PHP preprocessing scripts along with tools like Tidy, HTML Help Workshop, and makecab to build the documentation packages.
Use cases
- convert cppreference.com offline archive to CHM help file
- get C++ reference documentation inside Visual Studio help viewer
- build offline C/C++ documentation for Windows
- generate localized cppreference help packs including Chinese translation
- create .chm C++ standard library reference for offline reading
When to choose
- you want cppreference documentation integrated into Visual Studio 2012+ help system
- you need an offline CHM C/C++ reference on Windows
- you want localized (e.g. Chinese) cppreference documentation builds
When to avoid
- you need documentation for platforms other than Windows without extra tooling
- you prefer modern web-based or IDE-plugin documentation viewers
- you don't want to install PHP, Tidy, and Microsoft SDK tooling
