To compile the RTF files DITA2Go produces, you need Microsoft Help Workshop (hcw.exe). Make sure you have the latest version of Help Workshop. If hcw.exe is not on your system PATH, you must tell DITA2Go where to find it:
[HelpOptions] ; Compiler = path\to\hcw; can include run parameters Compiler = hcw /c /e
You can have the compiler display a copyright statement and a compile date in the WinHelp Version Information dialog:
[HelpOptions] HelpCopyright = your copyright statement HelpCopyDate = Yes
[HelpOptions] HelpCopyright = (c) 2001-2012 Omni Systems, Inc. HelpCopyDate = Yes
These settings resulted in the following, displayed in the WinHelp Version Information dialog:
(c) 2001-2012 Omni Systems, Inc. Monday, February 20, 2012 18:24:39
When you specify the following options in the configuration file, DITA2Go automatically runs the WinHelp compiler after generating output files:
[Automation] ; CompileHelp = No (default, run Help compiler separately), or Yes CompileHelp=Yes
To have DITA2Go copy the .hpj file to another directory for compiling, specify the following:
[Automation] ; WrapPath = path to dir for compiling and distribution, ; default is output dir WrapPath=.\help
See §44.6 Assembling files for distribution.
Tell the Help compiler where to find graphics
If your graphics are in more than one place, you can add multiple BMROOT= entries to the [OPTIONS] section of your Help Project (.hpj) file. For example:
[OPTIONS] BMROOT=..\MyGraphics BMROOT=..\Test\Graphics
