474 Notes: ShowHelp uses section ids for displaying particular topics,
475 but you might want to use a unique keyword to display a topic, instead.
477 Section ids are specified as follows for the different formats.
481 The [MAP] section specifies the topic to integer id mapping, e.g.
489 The identifier name corresponds to the label used for that topic.
490 You could also put these in a .h file and #include it in both the MAP
491 section and your C++ source.
493 Note that Tex2RTF doesn't currently generate the MAP section automatically.
497 The [MAP] section specifies the HTML filename root to integer id mapping, e.g.
505 The identifier name corresponds to the HTML filename used for that topic.
506 You could also put these in a .h file and #include it in both the MAP
507 section and your C++ source.
509 Note that Tex2RTF doesn't currently generate the MAP section automatically.
511 Simple wxHTML Help and External HTML Help
513 A wxhelp.map file is used, for example:
515 0 wx.htm ; wxWindows: Help index; additional keywords like overview
516 1 wx204.htm ; wxWindows Function Reference
517 2 wx34.htm ; wxWindows Class Reference
519 Note that Tex2RTF doesn't currently generate the MAP section automatically.
523 An extension to the .hhc file format is used, specifying a new parameter
526 <OBJECT type="text/sitemap">
527 <param name="Local" value="doc2.htm#classes">
528 <param name="Name" value="Classes">
529 <param name="ID" value=2>
532 Again, this is not generated automatically by Tex2RTF, though it could
533 be added quite easily.
535 Unfortunately adding the ID parameters appears to interfere with MS HTML Help,
536 so you should not try to compile a .chm file from a .hhc file with
537 this extension, or the contents will be messed up.
