Is there a way to create a cross reference to a slave chm?

Post by SMoore01 »

I am using cross references for my online help (chm), because many of our feature names change, and it's a fantastic way to make sure they are updated. I want to create cross references to topics in some of the slave chm files, but so far haven't found a way to do so. Does anyone know of a workaround for this?

Thanks,
Shannon

The correct code to use is:
<a href="ms-its:filename.chm::/topic.htm">LinkText</a>

You could try using that in the Cross Ref dialog: select "Topic in Project" and enter ms-its:filename.chm::/topic.htm (as above). You may get errors etc when building, but it should work. If it doesn't you could always open the topic(s) in notepad and edit directly.

Cheers
Greg
