TOC: Polish characters/wrong encoding

Post by RDieter »

Hello,

I am currently working on a polish translation. When I try to compile my project, the TOC in HTML Help seems to ignore/is unable to show the correct polish characters.
Please see the attached screenshot for my problem.

I already tried to use "ł" instead of "Å‚" and also to compile the project on another system where polish is the standard language - both attempts didn't work.

Thanks for your help.
Raphael

Hi, Raphael,

Does anything in this newsgroup discussion help?

http://groups.google.com/group/microsof ... 95c7ec44c6

For the references to the index (.hhk) file, you can substitute the contents (.hhc) file.

There's some more information on localising HTML Help files here:

It may sound funny, but finally it worked.
I don't know exactly why, the only thing I did was recompiling the project for Word output (to see if the characters are shown correctly) and when I changed back to HTML Help output everything went fine...
Another thing I did was to enable the option that all files in their newest version should be included automatically....

Thank you for your help... and sorry for my rather bad english ;)
