9.9.3 Generating contents and index with HTML Help Workshop

Contents

If you specify RefFileType=HHW, HTML Help Workshop constructs the Contents panel, and uses your <Hn> tags as the source of the line items. This has two consequences:

Index

When HTML Help Workshop creates the index, Mif2Go embeds FrameMaker index markers (minus the parts that HTML Help does not understand) as K-type index entries in the .htm files. This has two consequences:

It is best not to use HTML Help Workshop to modify the contents and index files, but to include these files in the compilation as is, for this reason: Mif2Go uses the [sort] information from FrameMaker to order the entries in the index file. If you regenerate this file using HTML Help Workshop, that work is trashed, and sorting goes by text only. The same is true if you specify a binary index.

Note:   A binary index is required if you merge CHM files at run time.

See §7.5.9 Customizing index sort order.
