You overestimate me It's all in the docs, really. Just not in a single place but if everything was in every possible place, the docs would take two DVDs and would be horrible to maintain and read.


huh?
I think the help collection file might contain all contents of help database, but as I said, I'm not sure of that. And you don't need both actually, the help collection file is only required for each separate set of help files.


What tutorial would that be?
"Generating Qt Help" in QtHelp module. Just before this tutorial it is said:
Instead, only the compressed help file and optionally the collection file has to be distributed.
Didn't you mean exactly that?

The next paragraph says:
So, in general, there are four files interacting with the help system, two used for generating Qt help and two meant for distribution:
... and then there is the tutorial.

As for the part about help being stored in a database - it is somewhere there although I agree it would be nice if it was pointed out specifically. You might want to post a suggestion to qt-bugs about it.
