Opening a .chm file
Windows blocks help files that came from the internet, so a downloaded .chm often opens empty. Right-click the file, open Properties, and tick the security box at the bottom of the General tab. The content appears once the file is reopened.
The documentation pages above open in a browser without it, as does the single-file HTML of the current release.
Project specific versions
Projects often try out extensions to the schema before they enter an official release. Their documentation is published separately.
