This example demonstrates how to use Qt Assistant as help system for your own application. You can control Qt Assistant either directly using e.g. the open button or indirectly by pressing F1.
This example provides a context sensitive help, i.e. pressing F1 will show the help for the item under the mouse cursor.
In order to run Qt Assistant as a custom help tool for this
application properly you have to specify a profile. A profile
is a file format similar to the documentation content files
that assistant used up to Qt 3.1. Once such a profile has been
specified Qt Assistant can be run with the option -profile
and then the filename of the profile. The HelpDemo example does
this for you if you press the Run Qt Assistant customized for
HelpDemo.
Qt Assistant can also display arbitrary pages with the Display button or using the context help (F1), but Qt Assistant won't be customized for this example application.
