If you have installed an html version of the manual you can alternatively use an html browser to display the manual sections. The command
SetHelpViewer(device)
will select a method described by the string device to display the help
pages online. Currently device can be "screen" for the default built-in
text browser, "less" (only under UNIX) to use less for paging,
"netscape" for the netscape HTML browser and "lynx" for the
lynx HTML browser. Both HTML browsers will only work under UNIX.
On an Apple Macintosh you can use an HTML browser by calling SetHelpViewer
with the parameter "Internet Config".
See section Features of GAP for MacOS for details about this.
If you want the HTML help to be the default, you should call this function
in your .gaprc file (see the sections on operating
system dependent features in chapter Installing GAP).
Note that you need to set up the symbol font properly in your web browser
to get a correct display of mathematical formulae (see section HTML Font Setup).
