GNU Emacs manuals in CHM format

Here are the GNU Emacs manuals (and Emacs Lisp Intro, Emacs Lisp References, etc) in Compiled Html Help(.chm) format.

These manuals are also available online (gnu.org): | GNU Emacs manual | Read Online | |:------------------|:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | An Introduction to Programming in Emacs Lisp | Read Online | | Emacs Lisp Reference Manual | Read Online | | Other Emacs manuals | Read Online |

Want More CHM ?

They are genereated from .texi files in GNU Emacs' source tree. Note that not all manuals converted, e.g. many .texi files misc folder are not converted and provided here (such as semantic.texi, remember.texi, etc). If you want them, you can converted it with the methods described below.

For CHM format of manual of other tools (such as gcc, binutils, etc) and libraries (such as readline, glibc, etc), try http://code.google.com/p/htmlhelp/.

How are these chm files generated?

The html files are genereated from xxx.texi files in GNU Emacs' source tree, with texi2html. e.g.

texi2html --init-file /usr/share/texi2html/chm.init emacs.texi

Then you need use Microsoft Html Help Workshop to compile the html files into CHM.

Currently they are generated from .texi files in GNU Emacs source tree, by texi2chm (texihtml-1.6.4 with a patch) and HTML Help Workshop.
