Markdown (*.md) files and Help *.chm files

[Paul Squires]

Hi Jose,

I love the idea of using markdown and GitHub docs for your doumentation

I started ot use markdown as well for WinFormsX but found that the PDF generation of the tool I was using didn't handle line breaks very well. It looked great until I outputted it to pdf. A good offline reader for markdown files would be great so that we can dispense with CHM files (or use a tool that can convert the md to chm like https://github.com/Phrogz/docubot).

A simple viewer would be cool rather than a full-blown editor so I could call the viewer via WinFBE's Help menu or a User Tool.

If anyone finds such a tool that would integrate well into WinFBE as a help file reader for markdown files then please share your experience.

What I like is that I can do immediate changes and keep the documentation always updated. My help file has become so big that it is a pain to update it with HelNDoc. When I have to create new entries or generate new html and chm files it takes a looooong time. Help and Manual is very good, but also very expensive.

A way to generate .pdf files on line is to use in your browser the address of your .md page changing github to gitprint, i.e.
