HTML Help Features

The HTML Help output for MPLAB Harmony has two purposes. First, it can be used as "stand-alone" Help. Second, the HTML files are used by the MPLAB Harmony Configurator (MHC) when using MHC in MPLAB X IDE. 

 

Stand-alone HTML Help 

The MPLAB Harmony index.html file that is the root for all HTML help is located in the ./doc subfolder of the package it documents. For example, documentation on the MPLAB Harmony 3 Configurator is found at ./mhc/doc/index.html and documentation on the MPLAB Harmony Graphics Library is found at ./gfx/doc/index.html. 

To use the HTML Help in a "stand-alone" manner, open the file index.html in your browser of choice. Click Allow blocked content if a message appears regarding ActiveX controls.

  • Contents - The Contents topic is a static file, which displays and lists the major sections available in the Help in the left frame. Due to a restriction with the Help browser used by the MHC, a dynamic Contents topic cannot be used.
