add text concerning compiler of CHM files
Line 102:
 
Various applications, such as HTML Help Workshop and [[7-Zip]] can decompile CHM files. The hh.exe utility on Windows and the extract_chmLib utility (a component of chmlib) on Linux can also decompile CHM files.
 
Microsoft's HTML Help Workshop and Compiler generate CHM files by instructions stored in a HTML Help project. The file name of such a project has the extension .HHP and the file is just a text with the [[INI file]] format.<ref>{{cite web |last=Wise |first=Paul |last2=Wing |first2=Jed |title=Unofficial (Preliminary) HTML Help Specification INI formats|url=http://chmspec.nongnu.org/latest/INI.html#HHP |year=2005 |accessdate=1 February 2018 }}</ref>
 
The [[Free Pascal]] project has a compiler (chmcmd) that can create CHM files in a multiplatform way.
