I built the latest HelpViewer and I could clean the code of my 
existing User Guides:

- removing 'no-breakspace' after 'bold' and 'italic' tags: those tags 
are now rendered as expected, not triming anymore the following space.
- removing all 'no-breakspace' inside blocks like 'listing', 'notes' 
and so on. Those blocks are rendered as expected now, not triming 
anymore words, nor breaking lines like they did.

UTF-8 characters are interpreted as expected: tested with French 
accented ones...

Maybe something is missing: 'url' tag does not yet provide a useful 
link to click on. Is that behaviour expected?

My updated examples are published there:
https://github.com/pcardona34/agnostep-help

I also looked for a clear way to associate a .help file to the Help 
menuitem of the app, but I found only that was documented for RTF 
documentation format (with Index and TOC).

Cheers,
Patrick
