Do Apple help books, of the MyApp.help format (included in the app bundle), authored for inclusion in OS X apps (from the Help menu) look for *@2x.png images on retina screens?

I don't see any mention of this in the Apple Help Authoring guide or the High Resolution Guidelines.

Help bundles are just collections of HTML pages that are displayed in a web view — so you can use @2x images just like you do on web pages. (Plus, I just tried and you can clearly see that retina content works!) For more details, see this page on Apple's developer site.

  • Thank you! On a related side note, I was going to dig through the help file in the PhotoBooth.app bundle to figure this out, but couldn't find it. Are the help files for the stock Apple apps not stored in the bundles? – Clay Dec 20 '12 at 10:35
  • I see it in my copy: `Photo Booth.app/Contents/Resources/PhotoBooth.help`. – jtbandes Dec 20 '12 at 10:53
  • Yep, you're right. That's what I get for programming with a fever. I spent 15 minutes looking for it last night. Thanks. – Clay Dec 20 '12 at 15:46
