[maemo-developers] Installing HTML help files in Maemo and Symbian^3

[From: Daniil Ivanov]

Maemo 5 has no system wide help engine.
And Symbian has help engine, but you will need native Symbian API to use it.
On the other hand, Qt has it's own help engine
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qthelp-framework.html
and probably you want to use as it will solve all cross-platform issues.
