Comment on Show HN: I created a portable lightweight replacement for Microsoft HTML Helpparent

How does that differentiate it from ePub? Because "a compressed folder with XML files" is how I describe that format.

Epub suffers from the same flaws - only one language per file, freeform styling that makes company-wide style consistency problematic (and when we talk about a ERP system with thousands of users and a miriad supplementary tools created for it - it's a really big problem).

And it was not designed for context-sensitive help of desktop apps, while LiteHelp is.
