KchmViewer is a chm (MS HTML help file format) viewer, written in C++.
* Standalone viewer, depends on Qt only. Does not require KDE, Gnome or
wxWindows toolkit.
* A KDE viewer can be compiled optionally, with KIO slave, KHTML and
K*Widget support.
* Completely safe and harmless. Does not support JavaScript in any way,
optionally warns you before opening an external web page, or switching
to another help file.
* Correctly detects and shows encoding of any valid chm file.
* Correctly shows non-English chm files, including cyrillic, chinese,
japanese and others.
* Correctly searches in non-English chm files using chm built-in
search index.
* Shows an appropriate image for every TOC entry.
* Has complete chm index support, including multiple index entries,
cross-links and parent/child entries in index.
* Persistent bookmarks support. Allows to store bookmarks even if
"Favorites" window was not enabled for this chm file. Also stores the
screen position for every bookmark. You can also edit/delete bookmarks.
* For any opened chm file, stores the last opened window, search history,
bookmark history, font size and so on, so when you open this file again,
everything is always on the place.
* Has easy and powerful search-in-page support.
* Allows to increase or decrease the font size, so physically handicapped
people can read texts easily.
* Has standard Back/Forward/Home navigation.
* Can print the opened pages on a standard printer (usually via CUPS).
* Has complex search query support. You can use search queries like
"lazy people" + learn -not.
