Topics showing up in the TOC
Issue
I generate a help file that plugs-in to another product (it's not an MMC snap-in though). So I have to format my settings to be a Binary Index, and I change the TOC filename to be aaa.hhc (aaa is my output), and set the toc-custom-file to bbb.hhc (bbb is what it plugs into).
I added a new topic to my content but when I generate it, I don't see the topic in my TOC. The content is in the help and i can find it doing a search but I don't know why it's not showing up in the TOC.
Resolution
- In the Target Settings dialog box, put the Table of Contents filename to the name of the project. So for example, my project was called s86, so I would enter s86.hhc.
- Generate the project.
- Because my project plugs into a bigger chm file, I would take the hhc file of the bigger project and save it to the Files folder.
In the Target Settings dialog box, I set the Binary Index to Enabled, made sure the Table of Contents filename was still at aaa.hhc, and put the toc-custom-file to <name of bigger chm file>.hhc.
5. Regenerate the project.
- I was using an older aaa.hhc file. I wasn't generating that first so ensure the topic was getting picked up in the TOC.
