Table of Contents
This page is a capture in the product backlog. Promoted (2026-06-08) into the story Qt help system from the user manual in Sprint 20.
What
Integrate the org-mode user manual into Qt's native help system: a build
step compiles the exported manual HTML into a .qch collection via
qhelpgenerator, and the application loads it through QHelpEngine with a
contents/index/search sidebar and a QTextBrowser content pane. Promoted
to a story — see that story for the scoped tasks and the
approach decision (native Qt help over a web view).
Why
The user manual is the single source of truth for how to drive the app, but it lives only on the website. Surfacing it inside the application as searchable, offline help means users do not leave the app to find guidance, and the help tracks the manual automatically because it is built from the same source.
