   Could it be that the issue is that the file extension is .qhcp or .qhp, but not .qch?

   According to https://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-4.8/assistant-custom-help-viewer.html#creating-a-custom-help-collection-file,

   The help collection file (.qhc) used by Qt Assistant is created when running the qcollectiongenerator tool on a help collection project file (.qhcp).

   Which is what we are doing:

   docs/buildDocs.sh

   Line 43 in 56d42f0

   qcollectiongenerator _build/qthelp/*.qhcp

   That file looks pretty empty/crippled:

   It's obviously an SQLite database.

   Indeed. But I have never worked with this Qt help stuff before. Perhaps you should ask @azubieta or @antony-jr?

   Possibly (just taking a wild guess here) the broken TOC in the EPUB and the empty qrc are somehow related.

   Just for the info, I've never used Qt help since I never needed it in the first place. So I think I'm at the same level as a non-Qt programmer in this area.
