[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53006] GUI Documentation Browser displays Index chapters of manual poorly

[Pantxo Diribarne]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #53006 (project octave):

I attached the latest version of the python html parser so that it can serve
as an example for a rewrite in whatever language (including python since I am
far from fluent in this language).
The workflow for preparing a qhc file is to copy the python script in the
parent directory of octave.html, cd into that directory and then run:


python prepare_qhelp.py octave_qhelp octave.html
qcollectiongenerator octave_qhelp.qhcp -o octave_qhelp.qhc


You now have a qhc file that can be used in assistant to see the full
browse/search capabilities of the QtHelp framework


assistant -collectionFile ./octave_qhelp.qhc


Or you can look at the simple python script  (based on PyQt4, mostly borrowed
on SO IIRC) attached to see how easy it is to create a browser on those qhc
files.


python octave-pydoc.py


The search capabilities still have to be added but I think it should not be
very hard.
