Re: Master Frame book for webworks




Valerie:

Create another book file just for making the HTML Help (*.chm) files.

Create three overview documents: ProductA.fm, ProductB.fm, and ProductC.fm.

Add the files to the new HTMLhelp.book as follows:

     ProductA.fm
     Chapter1.fm
     Chapter2.fm
     ProductB.fm
     Chapter3.fm
     Chapter4.fm
     ProductC.fm
     Chapter5.fm
     Chapter6.fm

Set up the heading styles so the Title of Product?.fm files is superior to
ChapterHeading in Chapter?.fm files.

Bingo!

Or have I missed something?

Hello, does anyone know if it is possible to make a "master" Frame book
made of other books?
We are single-sourcing with Frame and Webworks.
We have a suite of software products (A,B,C)
I want to produce one pdf for each product (I have no problem with that)
I want to produce one chm file for all the suite with the following
structure (here I have a problem):

- Product A
           Chapter 1
           Chapter 2
- Product B
           Chapter 3
           Chapter 4
- Product C
           Chapter 5
           Chapter 6

I don't want a flat structure like this:

Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3
Chapter 4
Chapter 5
Chapter 6

The problem is that if I insert all my files in a Frame book, I will get a
structure where I can't distinguish between products.
Of course I could generate different chms and link them at the end but I
guess it will cause maintenance problems with inter-chm links and also
with context-sensitivity.
Can someone put me on the right track?
Thanks in advance.

Valerie
