To produce binary TOC and index for HTML Help:
[MSHtmlHelpOptions]
; BinaryTOC = No (default) or Yes (required for native browse)
BinaryTOC = Yes
; BinaryIndex = No (default) or Yes (required to merge .chm files)
BinaryIndex = Yes
These settings take effect only when WriteHelpProjectFile=Yes; see §18.3.8 Regenerating the HTML Help project file.
Alternatively, you can specify binary TOC or index generation directly in the .hpj file, under [Options]; see §18.4.2 Adding tabs and toolbar buttons to HTML Help.
There are trade-offs to generating binary navigation features for HTML Help. Table 18-2 lists the pros and cons of specifying a binary TOC or a binary index.
