9.3.1 Creating an HTML Help project

To create an HTML Help project:

1. Create a project directory for HTML files, separate from the directory where your FrameMaker document is located. Optionally, create a subdirectory for graphics files.

2. With your FrameMaker book or document file open, choose File > Set Up Mif2Go Export; the Choose Project dialog opens (see §3.3 Creating a Mif2Go conversion project).

3. Name your project, and browse to the project directory you created in Step 1.

4. Choose output type MS HTML Help and click OK.

5. Check options in the Set Up MS HTML Help Project dialog (see §13.2.2 Choosing set-up options for an HTML or XHTML project).

6. Use a text editor to edit the resulting _m2htmlhelp.ini configuration file (see §4.1 Working with Mif2Go configuration files).

7. Important: To make the configuration fit your usage of headings to start topics, pay special attention to sections [HelpContentsLevels] (see §7.2.1 Checking automatic Help topic assignments) and [HTMLParaStyles] (see §18.2 Splitting files).

8. Important: All the files you include in a compiled HTML Help system must be located in or below the directory that contains the .hhp project file. See §9.3.3 Deciding where to locate configuration settings.
