I recently stumbled across the nice helpviewer.py
and have a few questions
(some of them might be better placed at wxWindows,
but I would like to keep them together first and start here ...)
a) is there a way to add "Home","End" keybindings to get to the top or
bottom of the displayed html
b) can one use the mouse in the displayed html to
select text for copy+pasting (eg. under XWindows)
c) Search1:
I think it would be great, if for the search results
the matched word is highlighted in the corresponding html display
and buttons/keybindings for next and previous match are available.
How could one achieve this?
d) Search2:
Also the possibility to "search within a page" would be helpful.
e) Search3:
As the search takes a while, the pre-selection of
some book is really helpful, but maybe one could
even refine this by selecting a subtree (or several
of these) in the Contents list and only searching in the
corresponding docs
f) Is it possible/planned to let the user add annotations to
the documents ?
(Actually I a not so sure how trivial this is, in particular
across documentation upgrades
g) Is the display of mathml (http://www.w3.org/Math/)
something which is possible/planned for the future?
For me (for the moment the points b),a),d) are the most important
ones.

Ctrl-Home and Ctrl-End should already do it.
b) can one use the mouse in the displayed html to
select text for copy+pasting (eg. under XWindows)
This has just been added in the 2.5 tree, so it will be available in wxPython when I start doing 2.5.x releases.

These may be possible, but would have to be done at the C++ level. Enter feature requests for them.

Probably very difficult, but that hasn't stopped Vaclav in the past.
g) Is the display of mathml (W3C Math Home)
something which is possible/planned for the future?
Not with wxHtmlWindow, but once we have pluggable html viewer windows (wxHtmlWindow, embedded IE, or embedded Mozilla, all available via the same API) then it would probably be doable. That's going to be a while though.
