What is GnoCHM?
GnoCHM is an open source CHM file viewer application designed for Linux systems. It enables users to view Microsoft Compiled HTML Help (CHM) files on Linux. CHM is a common Windows help file format that bundles HTML pages, images, JavaScript, and CSS into a single compressed file.
As an open source project licensed under GPLv3, GnoCHM is free to download and use. It provides a graphical user interface for conveniently accessing the contents of CHM files. Some key features include:
- A tree view pane showing the table of contents for easy navigation of topics in the CHM file
- Tabs for opening multiple CHM files simultaneously
- Full-text search allowing users to quickly find information
- Customizable interface colors and fonts
- Support for displaying images and following links embedded in CHM files
GnoCHM offers an easy way for Linux users to access Windows CHM help files. It is available as precompiled binaries for most Linux distributions. The source code can also be compiled on Linux, BSD, and other UNIX-based operating systems. Overall, GnoCHM provides an essential capability for viewing platform-independent CHM documentation files on non-Windows systems.
