From a user perspective, I’m still fond of WinHelp/CHM. It’s a rather consistent and predictable format, with a standard hierarchical TOC, index, full-text search, and hyperlinking, distributed as a single file you can open on any Windows PC. The AutoHotKey documentation is a good example.

- zozbot234 2y agoEPUB is a fairly modern counterpart to CHM. The old WinHelp file format (.HLP) was RTF-based as pointed out in a sibling comment.
