+\subsection{Help Files Format}\label{helpformat}
wxHTML library uses a reduced version of MS HTML Workshop format.
Tex2RTF can produce these files when generating HTML, if you set {\bf htmlWorkshopFiles} to {\bf true} in
(See \helpref{wxHtmlHelpController}{wxhtmlhelpcontroller} for help controller description.)
-A {\bf book} consists of three files : header file, contents file and index file.
+A {\bf book} consists of three files: header file, contents file and index file.
+You can make a regular zip archive of these files, plus the HTML and any image files,
+for wxHTML (or helpview) to read; and the .zip file can optionally be renamed to .htb.
\wxheading{Header file (.hhp)}
Header file must contain these lines (and may contain additional lines which are ignored) :
\begin{verbatim}
-Contents file=@filename.hhc@
-Index file=@filename.hhk@
-Title=@title of your book@
-Default topic=@default page to be displayed.htm@
+Contents file=<filename.hhc>
+Index file=<filename.hhk>
+Title=<title of your book>
+Default topic=<default page to be displayed.htm>
\end{verbatim}
All filenames (including the Default topic) are relative to the
{\bf Localization note:} In addition, .hhp file may contain line
\begin{verbatim}
-Charset=@rfc_charset@
+Charset=<rfc_charset>
\end{verbatim}
which specifies what charset (e.g. "iso8859\_1") was used in contents
\wxheading{Contents file (.hhc)}
Contents file has HTML syntax and it can be parsed by regular HTML parser. It contains exactly one list
-(\verb$<ul>$....\verb$</ul>$ statement):
+({\tt <ul>}....{\tt </ul>} statement):
\begin{verbatim}
<ul>
- <li> <object>
+ <li> <object type="text/sitemap">
<param name="Name" value="@topic name@">
- <param name="ID" value=@numeric_id@>
- <param name="Local" value="@filename.htm@">
+ <param name="ID" value=@numeric_id@>
+ <param name="Local" value="@filename.htm@">
</object>
- <li> <object>
+ <li> <object type="text/sitemap">
<param name="Name" value="@topic name@">
- <param name="ID" value=@numeric_id@>
- <param name="Local" value="@filename.htm@">
+ <param name="ID" value=@numeric_id@>
+ <param name="Local" value="@filename.htm@">
</object>
...
contents, {\it filename.htm} is HTML page name (relative to .hhp file) and {\it numeric\_id} is optional
- it is used only when you use \helpref{wxHtmlHelpController::Display(int)}{wxhtmlhelpcontrollerdisplay}
-Items in the list may be nested - one \verb$<li>$ statement may contain a \verb$<ul>$ sub-statement:
