Abstract: wwwhelp provides a quick and convenient way of opening online HTML or PDF version of {Stata}'s official help files. Since the built-in file opened with the official command help can only be read through the Stata interface, which is not conducive to sharing and dissemination. wwwhelp fill this gap by allowing help files to be read and used independent of Stata. The only thing needed to be done is adding a www before the help to turn it into wwwhelp, then the documents that can be opened directly using help cmd command can also be opened online using wwwhelp cmd, including both detailed PDF versions and simple HTML versions.
