Hi Travis

So you notice in H2 work there are 2 categories of HxC/HxK/HxT etc files.
One has DTD ref at the top and are used by the H2 compiler to
compile your content to a HxS title. So every Help project has a set of these
and produces one HxS.

The other set of Hx files do not have a DTD. These get shipped with
your compiled HxS files and allow H2 runtime to register the collection.

So when you run the FAR Wizard to create the collection level Hx files
(no DTD header, that ship with your HxS help files)... I would do
this once only.
Refresh only if Hx filenames change, or you add new HxS.

-

Now HxConv.exe is a lame little tool which is just meant to help you
port a project from HH to H2. Use this once only. It is not meant
for production work.

If you need to managing help both in HH and H2 formats, then
I suggest do what I do with H2Reg help.
* HTML files - Easy they work with either compiler
* HHP / HxC - The 2 project files wont change. Once created leave as
is or tweak individual projects as required.
* Toc and Index - FAR allows you to edit in one type and "save as" to
the other.
So if you create new TOC or Index items just remember at some stage to
perform a Save As to the other format. Alternatively FAR has a
batch command
that you can use in your build to convert from say HHC -> HxT,
HHK -> HxK or
visa-versa.
ExportNav=file1, file2

Is any of this helping?

Back to you
