The help file > built is so-called compressed HTML (*.chm), There are Mac viewers for reading chm files, so it is not entirely true that the file is useless to Mac users. However that is besides the point. (It may be that chm files cannot be created under Mac in which case it makes no sense to insist.) >> But to start with I would like to know how I can build the new html >> help in the first place. > > On a mac, you quite certainly can't. Does the new code generate any HTML-like content at all? Would it be possible to get that html-like content somehow, that is the last step before the final chm file is created? Would it be possible to generalize the code to the extent that one would also get one html page per help item when requested? (I already started writing doc2html script, but if there is code that already supports HTML output, it would be preferrable to use that one.) Thanks, Mojca |
