17.2.8 Providing multiple .hlp files

You can provide multiple .hlp files instead of a single .hlp file. You must set configuration options to ensure the links between .hlp files work as expected. See:

§17.4.2 Specifying cross-reference destination files

§17.12.2.5 Referencing multiple help files from contents

As an alternative, you can provide a main .hlp file with contents entries that link to other .hlp files; see §16.11 Setting up a dynamic modular Help system.

For more information, see Designing your Help system > Planning your Help system > Designing for multiple Help files in Help Workshop Help Topics: Help Author’s Guide.
