18.3.6 Naming project and compiled files for HTML Help

By default, DITA2Go uses the name of your DITA document for both the project file (.hhp) and the compiled file (.chm).

Help project file

To specify the .hhp file name:

[MSHtmlHelpOptions]
; HHPFileName = MS HTML Help project file used for compilation
HHPFileName = myproj.hhp

The default value is the name of your DITA document.

Note:  Neither the name of the file nor the path to the file may contain spaces. Do not enclose the name in quotes.

Compiled file

To specify the CHM file name:

[MSHtmlHelpOptions]
; DefaultChmFile = name of .chm for project if not in [ChmFiles]
DefaultChmFile = myproj

If your project includes links to other HTML Help projects, also see §18.14 Mapping and merging CHM files.
