Why do you need a coversion tool (on the "client" side)? I agree that a
development
tool should be done, but the output can be plain HTML. And it's easy to
create a
WinHelp or HtmlHelp file from an HTML source.

A common style base must be agreed:

Item                            Font style      Font color      Background color
       etc...
===                             ======= ======= =============   ====
Title
Subject
Text
Code snippets
etc...
