'''Microsoft Compiled HTML Help''' is a [[Microsoft]] proprietary [[online help]] format, consisting of a collection of [[HTML]] pages, an index and other navigation tools. The files are compressed and deployed in a binary format with the extension .CHM, for Compiled HTML. The format is often used for [[software documentation]].

Although the format was designed by Microsoft, it has been successfully [[Reverse engineering|reverse-engineered]] and is now supported in many document viewer applications.
