About Ziphelp
On the surface, Ziphelp is HTML5 in a zip archive. Pack any folder with HTML pages into a regular zip file, rename the extension to “.zhelp” and the eWriter viewer will open it. This not just works for Help+Manual’s Webhelp output, but for any HTML.
But Ziphelp is more than that, it is a protocol based on the standard sitemap protocol, designed to give a help viewer extended information about the content of the help system, in order to provide context-sensitive help to an application. Locally, on the web, and mixed.

Open-Source Delphi Implementation
For Embarcadero Delphi, we have published an open-source cross-platform implementation of the Ziphelp protocol, together with a help viewer that embeds and displays Ziphelp directly in a Delphi application.

Other Programming Languages
Ziphelp is an open protocol which can be implemented natively in almost every modern cross-platform development tool. If there is no native implementation for Ziphelp in your development environment, use our free redistributables of the eWriter Viewer:
