Authoring application Help


  • Subject: Authoring application Help

I've read the various Apple documentation on writing HTML help pages so Help
Viewer can display them.  Yet when I look at some examples of Apple's own help
files (pick any application in /Applications), non-standard "help" URLs are
used, e.g.:

	<a href="help:anchor='autoabt001' bookID='AutoMator Help'">Blah</a>

I can understand their use if you want to refer to a *different* help
book than your own, but why use them internally?  And, even if you do
use them in lieu of "normal" URLs, how can you test your help book?
(Ideally, testing using Safari would be nice.)
