Paht for images in html help

Post by breyni »

Hi
I'm translating html help with the aid of Catalyst. However, Flare saves the images as complete path when I genereate the html help, i.e., the path is ms-its:project-name.chm::/Resources/images/name-of-image. Catalyst cannot display images that have complete paths. Catalyst wants images to have a relative path.

Does anyone know whether I can get Flare to use relative path for images when compiling html files?

Thanks.

Hi, breyni,

See if this Knowledge Base article helps:

Patch for HTML Help Issues in Flare 3.1

As I understand it, by applying PATF3102 or the subsequent PATF3103, you can stop Flare from specifying the full path to style sheets and images. However, this has the disadvantage that you may now experience the problem described in the following Microsoft article:

So, it's a bit of a trade-off.

Pete
