Subject:HTML-help help: where do I start? From:Becca Price <becca_price -at- yahoo -dot- com> To:Techwr-l <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Tue, 27 Jun 2000 11:10:53 -0700 (PDT)
I'm going to be taking over some HTML-help files with
a very tight deadline - I start my new job next week,
and have 3 days in it before I go on vacation, and the
deadline is shortly after I get back.
Can anyone recommend a good book to get me started on
understanding HTML-help? I'm pretty knowledgable about
WinHelp, but haven't worked in HTML Help before.
We'll be using Microsoft's HTML Help Workshop and
probably Front Page as the HTML editor (although I may
bring in my copy of DreamWeaver...)
I figure that the best way to take the files out of
HDK and into HTML Help will be to simply put the Word
files into HTML - any comments about this?
now for the hard question: one help file will be able
to be called from 2 different applications. Is there
a way to make the text in the title bar change
depending on where the file is called from?

of our free will, and that share of glory which falls to
our lot." N. Machievelli, "The Prince" ch.26
