<title>Using PHP Manual CHM Edition</title>

<para>
|
|
When you double click on a CHM, a HTML Help Viewer window
|
|
opens with three panes. On the left side of the window is
|
|
the Navigation pane. It contains four navigational tabs:
|
|
the Contents, Index, Search and Favorites tabs. On the right
|
|
side of the window is the Topic pane. It displays the
|
|
selected help topic, or the default help topic on startup.
|
|
The help pages are all separate HTML files, your Internet
|
|
Explorer displays the pages in the Topic pane. The third pane
|
|
is the toolbar, which is located below the help window title bar.
|
|
You can adjust the horizontal layout with dragging the vertical
|
|
border between the Navigation pane and the Topic pane.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Note, that when you open the CHM the first time, it may
|
|
appear in a strange position and size. From then, Windows
|
|
remembers the window position, size and the last opened
|
|
tab. All these including your favorites are stored in a
|
|
file named <filename>hh.dat</filename>. If you move your
|
|
file to another directory, all these remembered settings
|
|
will be lost (including your favorites listing!). If you
|
|
replace your CHM file with a new one, with the same name,
|
|
this is not a problem though. The file names and path
|
|
values are stored in <filename>hh.dat</filename>.

<title>The Navigation Pane</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The Navigation Pane contains four navigational tabs:
|
|
the Contents, Index, Search and Favorites tabs. These
|
|
all provide different methods to access a topic in the
|
|
help file.
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
The contents tab reveals a tree like table of contents,
|
|
where you can navigate to the desired topic by opening
|
|
and closing parts of the tree. You can even access the
|
|
deepest sections using this TOC. If you right click on
|
|
an item here and choose "Print...", you'll have the option
|
|
to print the selected topic or the selected topic and
|
|
all subtopics. However printing is not the initial goal
|
|
of this representation of the manual (the PDF version is
|
|
suitable for printing).
|
|
</simpara>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
The index tab lists a huge number of "keywords" (actually
|
|
manual page titles). You can pick one, or start to type
|
|
a keyword, see the list adjusting to your input, and then
|
|
click on a topic, or press enter if the selected topic
|
|
is the one you would like to see.
|
|
</simpara>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
The search tab shows one of the most powerful features of
|
|
the HTML Help Viewer, the full text search (also known as
|
|
FTS). Here you can type in your search expression,
|
|
optionally connecting words with AND/OR/NEAR/NOT. Before
|
|
you click 'List topics', you can also set some options
|
|
at the bottom. After the search results are displayed,
|
|
you'll realize that manual text and user note results are
|
|
separated. To sort out the two types, click on the
|
|
'Location' column header. Now from the search results list,
|
|
you can pick a topic, and see it's page. The keywords you
|
|
searched for are highlighted on the page.
|
|
</simpara>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
The favorites tab enables you to store your most used
|
|
topics in a list, easily accessible. Here you can see
|
|
the list, add the current topic to it, remove one, or
|
|
display a selected item. You can also specify your own
|
|
title for the favorite, by typing it into the 'Current
|
|
topic:' box. The user note page titles are prepended
|
|
with a 'N:' string so you can distinguish them from
|
|
normal manual pages in the favorites listing.

<title>Keyboard Shortcuts</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
There are many keyboard shortcuts you can use to increase
|
|
your productivity. Many users find it more appropriate to
|
|
use these keyboard shortcuts to access topics, instead of
|
|
clicking.
