Anybody know how to create a searchable database like the AHK help file?

I want to be able to link pages together through links and edit the information. Any help appreciated! :)

Did you search with "CHM" keyword ?
<!-- m -->http://en.wikipedia.... ... _HTML_Help<!-- m -->
or maybe this <!-- m -->http://msdn.microsof...ibrary/ms670169<!-- m --> or search "hhc.exe"

In addition to Zaelia's response, you can see what goes into AutoHotkey's help file by decompiling it

I use Precision Helper (or, if you're uncomfortable with HTML, HelpNDoc).

Maybe this belongs to General Chat or Utilities&Resources? :?

A somewhat confusing but effective tool: <!-- m -->http://www.autohotke...pic.php?t=76949<!-- m -->
