Thread:Project:Support desk/Exporting a wiki for offline use/reply (3)

I am trying to avoid using a web browser. A web browser is not a good tool for viewing help files, because then the task of searching and navigating the help files becomes delegated to the web browser (and hence whoever wrote the html). I do not want to know html or javascript. I want to use a standard help file format for which a viewer exists for my desktop and I can control the viewer using a language my desktop environment is written in.
