CHM CHM

CHM - Definition

CHM is the file extension for Microsoft compressed HTML help files and ChemDraw Chemical Structure files.

Microsoft Compressed HTML Help

Microsoft Compressed HTML help CHM file format is organized in a database-like manner. It has set a set of web pages written in a subset of HTML and a hyperlinked table of contents. Table of contents is often displayed on left.

CHM help file has ".chm" or ".CHM" suffix. The file starts with bytes "ITSF" (in ASCII). On Windows, CHM help file can be extracted to plain HTML with

 hh.exe -decompile folder chm

There are some open source tools which can read and explore these files (see for example xCHM (http://xchm.sourceforge.net) or GnoCHM (http://gnochm.sourceforge.net/)), but they lack various features of the Microsoft Windows tools.
