Generate the CHM manual in 3 minutes
( 2019-10-06 updated to add renaming of folder, and different perl screen capture)
This is both a memory-jogger for me and to show this is actually a simple process.
Prerequisites:
dump2chm.pl script https://github.com/jibsen/dump2chm
Perl installed (I use Strawberry Perl)
HTML Help Workshop installed.
1) In chrome, pull up this the printer-friendly version of the manual with this link, and let it load completely:
https://infoqubeim.com/drupal5/?q=book/export/html/2043
2) Save the file (Ctrl-S in Chrome), and change the filename to InfoQube.htm. Also rename the folder InfoQube User Manual_files to InfoQube_files
3) Open a command line and run the following:
4) Open index.hhc in your text editor:
5) Make changes as highlighted, then save
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN">
<HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>
<OBJECT type="text/site properties">
<param name="FrameName" value="right">
</OBJECT>
<UL>
<LI><OBJECT type="text/sitemap"><param name="Name" value="InfoQube User Manual"><param name="Local" value="index.html"><param name="ImageNumber" value="11"></OBJECT>
6) Run HTML Help Workshop, and load index.hhp
7) Then file>compile from the menu and click Compile:
That's all there is to it!
