Hi,
I just played a bit with 'AfxNova-WebView'  and I came up with the idea to integrate a Help Tool for the Docs for 'AfxNova' as html.

1. After a small prep' (fence code rules, validating ) before converting .MD to .Html ;
- Markdown check is done by pandoc - but restricted rules for fence code needs an pre-check with an editor (like npp with regex rule find/replace is fine enough)

2.When using 'pandoc' as a batch job - actual 129 files took less 1 minute ) by keeping the folder structure the same as Jose's doc-folder, it could be used on the "newer" Browser without limits.

2. Fitting some dir_name_idx.html as page index in this structure let me use it as an offline Help.

3. Adding some lines of code for an cini-file to be flexible for the target web root folder in the cw_webview2.bas sample , changing the pWebView2.Navigate(weburl) and the start-index could be called from the webview-app.

4. Even when Jose updates the .md-docs , the maintenance is a small easy-peasy task.
the last adaption today took me only 15 minutes.
The converted .Md-to-.html can just exchanged inside the folder structure.
Even adding a new html file needs no witchcraft.

5. For Integrating in Tiko is no rocket science.  - It works a simple tool , but it helps a lot.


P.S: The '_testpan_AfxNovaWeb10'.zip archive :.9 MB : contains _testpan_AfxNovaWeb10.7z with 971 KB
--> doc file structure as of now for the sources:: html,css only ( no java,.js no php - no need !) size app. 11.5 MB

As Webview2-app is to large for upload , I attach only my sources (*.bas,*.ini) as zip. The names of the ini-file :AfxNovaWeb.ini is at the moment  hardcoded in the functions get_webrootpath() and  get_webrootpuri()

here my template
[AfxNovaWeb]
Root="V:\_testpan\_AfxNovaWeb14\AfxNova_idx.html"
Puri="file:///"
Please do not forget to adapt it to your needs at least in the ini-file.

Thanks for sharing! After modifying the ini file like you suggested, I was able to get it to run. Good stuff

thanks Paul,

hope you are feeling well.

Enclosed with some minor correction inside the 'AfxNovaWeb' folder
( + upd from Jose's .md from 260311_2051_internal_zip_Time / AfxNova_main.zip), to be up-to-date with the ongoing evolution.

AfxNovaWebview.bas - no changes - saeme procedure - adapt the ini with your Webrootfolder.

Just in case If you like (?) , I might send you the small batches for the conversion routines.
