Detailed Description

A simple HelpProvider that can be extended to create a HelpProvider for third party plug-ins. You need a urlbase string which can refer to a web URL (starting with "http://") or a local file path (starting with "file:///"). For linking the individual HelpKeys, you can either add links for specific keys using the function:

addKeyLink( const char* key, const char* link );

or have a local file with key-value pairs like this:

key1: link1
key2: link2
...........

The links will be simply appended to urlbase. For example, look at the class TutHelpProvider in plugins/uiTut/uitutpi.cc
