Tips for creating HTML projects with HLP files
• Help files for Windows 3.x and 95 and later are supported.
• HTML topics cannot use styles and formatting from the WinHelp project. All topic titles are formatted to the
Heading 1 style and the rest of the topic is formatted to the Normal style.
• Embed the formatting when selecting style options. Instead of attaching a style sheet, the HTML topics are
formatted to closely resemble the formatting used in the WinHelp topics.
• A style sheet is not required. It can be created after generation.
• If the entire WinHelp project is available, create the HTML project using the HPJ file rather than the HLP file.
