RE: CHM Index Problem

[<rob.cavicchio@emc.com>]

Whether index sorting happens automatically in HTML Help depends on whether the "Binary Index" setting is turned on in the Help project options. A binary index is the default, so in the HHP file, under "[OPTIONS]" there should either be a line that looks like this:

 

Binary Index=Yes

 

*or* there should be no line at all that starts with "Binary Index=".

 

If it is set to "No", then your index terms will be displayed in whatever order they appear in the HHK file.

 

 

I don't know if this option can be specified in the DocBook stylesheets.

Subject: CHM Index Problem

 

Hello,

 

Due to some specific requirements, I need to compile CHM files from the htmlhelp stylesheets under WINE in Linux. While my project compiles without errors under both windows and linux, the final .chm index compiled in linux is unsorted and the index entries are not consolidated. Everything else appears normal. I realize this has nothing to do with the stylesheets directly, but I figure there's some slim chance somebody here has encountered this problem so I thought I'd ask if anybody has any insight. I'm already using native versions of itss.dll, itircl.dll, and hhctrl.ocx to no avail.

 

Thanks,
