Ideally we would ship documentation with Wireshark that is pleasant to
read, browsable, and searchable. Unfortunately we don't have an easy way
to do this. The closest we've been able to come is by shipping an HTML
Help (.chm) file on Windows. However, HTML Help a) is limited to Windows,
b) crusty on normal displays, and c) really crusty on HiDPI displays.
The following alternative formats are available, each with advantages
and disadvantages:
== WebHelp
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_help[WebHelp] has three main
dependencies:
- DocBook XSL, including...
- webhelpindexer.jar
- The user's local web browser
This format generates both HTML pages and JavaScript, which might not run
reliably on end user machines.

PDF output is page oriented, with static page sizes. This _usually_ isn't
a problem with modern reader software. However it doesn't look like we
can reliably load a PDF file and jump to specific section on some
platforms. For example, loading +++file:///path/to/user_guide.pdf#location+++
