I just discovered that the HTML Help Workshop download link at

Have Microsoft said anything about deprecating HTML Help in favor either of 1)
some new help mechanism or 2) just use an HTML display tool that you hand the
URL for your product's documentation?
I can't find any official deprecation notice, but it looks like they stopped
updating HTML Help Workshop in 2009 and have released two succeeding help
systems: Microsoft Help 2[1] and Microsoft Help Viewer[2][3]. Both seem to be
tied closely to Visual Studio, and I'm not sure how easy it is to generate
content for each format (e.g. Help Viewer topic markup) using our current
toolchain.
