18.9.7 Making the TOC track
index links in HTML Help
If you specify a binary TOC for a stand-alone HTML
Help project, you can make the TOC stay synchronized with topics selected
via the index. If you intend to merge CHM files, see §18.14.5 Comparing
HHW settings for stand-alone vs. merged CHMs.
To make the TOC track topics accessed from the index:
- Open the .hhp file in HTML Help Workshop.
- On the Files tab in the
Options dialog delete the file name under Index file.
- On the Files tab in the
Window Types dialog, make sure each window you have defined references
the .hhk file.
- Compile the project.
You should notice that you can select any index entry
(even entries with mid-topic links) and the TOC will track the topic
pane.
