Tools Included in HelpSmith /

Web Server

HelpSmith includes a built-in web server that allows you to test your Web Help system on the local computer.

Using a full-featured web server eliminates the security restrictions of modern web browsers associated with running a web page from the local computer directly that could make a Web Help system work incorrectly.

The local web server runs automatically when you generate a Web Help system.

If necessary, you can control and configure the local web server in HelpSmith settings as described in this topic.
