I want to recursively search through folders for html files and generate a chm file for it. While displaying them in chm file the table of contents must be reflecting the folder structure where the html files were present.
I tried HTML Help Workshop for this, but adding each and every file is time taking and the folder structure keeps changing frequently. In the end I want to run a batch file/python script which will take folder path as input and give chm file as output.
Please have a look at FAR HTML or other help authoring Tools (to avoid reinventing the wheel).
With FAR HTML you can do anything with your prefered HTML-Editor outside e.g. a paragraph <a> with your folder structure on top of your HTML page and put FAR into your workflow. The Wizard's are great, please see:
One tip - don't look at all the options of FAR when starting.
Put your HTML files to structured subfolders of your project folder e.g.
welcome.htm
design.css
First_Steps\download.htm
First_Steps\starting_program.htm
How_to_extend\extend_menu.htm
How_to_extend\power_function.htm
images\gui_screenshot.jpg
Drag and drop these files to FAR
Start the wizard for HTMLHelp 1.x see main menu: Authoring > Help Wizard
ready ..
