***********************

The user documentation of |itom| can be distributed in various formats. The main format is called **qthelp**, such that the documentation is
displayed in the |Qt|-Assistant that is directly accessible from the |itom| GUI. On windows PCs it is possible to compile the help as a Windows Help
Document (chm) or to create latex-files from the help, in order to create a pdf-document. The base format of all these
formats is a collection of *html*-pages.

If you compiled |itom| from sources, no compiled documentation file is provided. Therefore, you need to compile the help by yourself:
