ventaIf you don't find the internal workings of compiled html files deeply interesting, what are you doing reading this ?
I have a bunch of HTML files, which I'm building into a .chm file. To do this, I'm using a free M$ download called HTML Help Workshop. What I'd really like to do is link to files which aren't .htm(l) files. In particular, I'd like to a link to a M$ Visual Studio solution which, when clicked, opens the specified project in Visual Studio.
Is there any way of specifying an app which should be used to open a particular filetype, in such a way that a .chm file will cope ?
On a slightly different note, I've been having trouble with links to text files, as well. I'm generating my HTML files using xsltproc and XML files (written in docbook) so I just assumed I was mucking up the XML to generate links. But no, the links work fine in the generated HTML files, they just don't work in the compiled version. There doesn't seem to be anyway of explictly including text files, and "sometimes" HTML Help seems to pick them up automatically and sometimes it doesn't.
