The pages you see in WorkShop Visual Help are stored in HTML format - the language used to write pages for the World Wide Web. HTML is a relatively powerful language, but is designed so that a system can implement a small amount of it and still produce good results.
WorkShop Visual Help supports a small subset of the possible 'tags' (HTML directives), and ignores all others - this allows it to read most HTML files and display them sensibly. To create documents for WorkShop Visual Help, you can either learn HTML and write it by hand, or use one of the increaing number of What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get (WYSIWYG) HTML editors.
For full details on writing pages for WorkShop Visual Help and on integrating it into your own applications, please see your WorkShop Visual documentation.
