Compiled HTML Help File
CHM (Compiled HTML Help) is a file format used for distributing software documentation and help files. It compiles multiple HTML pages, images, and other support files into a single, compressed file for easy distribution. CHM files are commonly used for offline documentation, help systems, and e-books, offering features like full-text search, indexing, and hyperlinks, making them user-friendly and efficient for accessing information.
Ruby Script
A Ruby script is a text file containing code written in the Ruby programming language. It is primarily used for web application development, task automation, and creating system administration tools. Ruby is known for its elegant syntax and flexibility, making it a popular choice for rapid development. These files can be executed directly by the Ruby interpreter, enabling efficient execution of scripts and programs.
Understanding CHM to RB Conversion
This page explains the purpose and process of converting CHM (Compiled HTML Help) files to RB (Ruby Source Code) files. Understanding the differences between these formats is key to a successful conversion.
What is a CHM File?
A CHM file, or Compiled HTML Help file, is a proprietary online help file format developed by Microsoft. It's widely used for software documentation and tutorials.
- Contains compressed HTML pages, images, and a table of contents.
- Commonly used for offline documentation for Windows applications.
What is an RB File?
An RB file is a source code file written in the Ruby programming language. It contains instructions for a Ruby interpreter to execute.
- Used for developing web applications, scripts, and system utilities.
- Often associated with the Ruby on Rails framework.
Why Convert CHM to RB?
Converting CHM to RB is unusual and doesn't directly translate the content in a logical way. Typically, one would convert a CHM file's *content* into a format suitable for inclusion within a Ruby application (e.g., extracting the HTML and displaying it). This conversion might involve extracting the textual content, potentially converting the HTML to a simpler format (like Markdown), and then representing that data as strings within a Ruby program.
The resulting RB file would then contain Ruby code to present the extracted information within a Ruby application. **Note:** This process requires understanding of both CHM file structure and Ruby programming. Our online converter attempts to extract plain text and convert it, and the quality may vary.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I lose formatting during the conversion?
Due to the nature of converting from a compiled help file to source code, some formatting may be lost. Our converter attempts to preserve as much text content as possible.
Is this conversion suitable for all CHM files?
The success of the conversion depends on the complexity of the CHM file's structure. Highly complex CHM files may not convert perfectly.
Do I need any special software to open the converted RB file?
Yes, you will need a text editor or an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that supports Ruby programming to open and view the RB file.
