9.15.2 Synchronizing TOC references to slave CHM files

The method described in this section works only for slave CHM files that are never used as stand-alone Help files. A simpler way to ensure TOC synchronization is to set UseChmInLinks=Yes, as described in §9.6.2 Specifying href link syntax for HTML Help.

When you merge CHM files, to ensure that TOC entries for topics in a slave CHM file are synchronized, when you generate the slave .hhc file you can have Mif2Go prefix references with master-to-slave text for the value of the Local parameter:

[MSHtmlHelpOptions]

; ContentsLocalValuePrefix = text to put before file references in

;  .hhc, used in slave .chms that are used only with a master.chm,

;  not alone

ContentsLocalValuePrefix = master.chm::/slave.chm::/

For example, if the master is guide.chm and the slave is intro.chm, you would specify:

[MSHtmlHelpOptions]

ContentsLocalValuePrefix = guide.chm::/intro.chm::/

A reference in the slave TOC would then look like this:

<li> <object type="text/sitemap">

<param name="Name" value="Introduction">

<param name="Local" value="guide.chm::/intro.chm::/Introduction.htm">

</object>
