Hi, I tried out latex2html and it works great.
I was wondering if there is any capacity to generate a .hhc file (I looked through the documentation and couldn't find any mention). An .hhc file is a Html Help Contents file. It is just an SGML list of links to make a tree heirarchy of contents. It is used to make the MS Help .CHM files. However, there is now a free open-source cross-platform version of this type of help file spec. It is called HelpView. Some screenshots and download links are here: http://www.storylinescentral.com/helpview.htm The nice thing is that it allows a user to do a nice client-side search of the html documents, on a book-to-book basis, as well as the compression of the html to shrink the needed harddrive space. The implementation is pretty straightforward. There is 3 parts: (a) The html documents, as generated by latex2html. (b) A .hhc file, which is exactly the same as the "Contents" hierarchy of hyperlinks in a latex2html document, except that <a> tags are replaced with <object> tags. (c) A five line text file called a .hhp (html help project) file that just gives the name of the book, and tells which page is the first page to display. These 3 parts get zipped up into a single zip file which can be then distributed. The viewer application just reads the zipped file. It seems like it wouldn't be more than a half-hour to implement, if the capacity isn't there already. My Perl skills are not strong, but I am willing to assist in any way. Any comments?
