I found this West Wind Html Help Builder 4.0 … can I build my help info and then us wxHtmlWindow… here is the link http://www.west-wind.com/wwhelp/docs/
Keep in mind that wxHtmlWindow is very limited in that has no JavaScript or CSS support, and advanced tools such as that will probably have problems with those constraints, or at least you will need to be careful to not use any features that would require those capabilities.
On the other hand, the HelpBlocks tool (http://www.helpblocks.com/) does support working within the constraints of what the wxHtml can support.

List of supported tags is handy.
http://docs.wxwidgets.org/stable/wx_wxhtml.html#htmltagssupported
Use one of the many templating systems to help you generate the html (I like http://www.makotemplates.org).

Hmmm, it looks like you just create some files in it and then go to Tools, Generate wxHTML Help. Then you can use the html files it generates with HtmlWindow. I’ve attached an example.
doc-0003.htm (79 Bytes)
doc-0004.htm (17 Bytes)
htmlExample.py (715 Bytes)
Sorry, I've never actually used it myself. I only know what I've seen on the website and some comments about it from others. You should read through HelpBlock's help file (created with HelpBlocks I'm sure) and ask your questions on Anthemion's mail list. Julian is helpful and very nice, I'm sure he can help you get things going.

It should also generate the contents and index files needed to be able to use it with wx.html.HtmlHelpController or wx.tools.helpviewer.

Well, it generated a bunch of other files too, but they were weird stuff, like htn, hhc, hhp, htb, htd and .h files. None were named index or contents. I quite possible did something wrong though.
The .hhp file is the MS HtmlHelp Project file and it will name the contents and index files (if there is one). The .hhc file is probably the contents file. Index files are usually named with a .hhk extension. The .htb file is actually a .zip file and contains all the other content and can be used directly from the wxHtmlHelpController class.
