Has anyone done this?
Using the 5.3 XSL stylesheet originally exported from a 5.3 .style file but
then forked and modified independently from the .style, I am getting an
11KB .chm file that opens but has no apparent content. The left-hand TOC
pane is empty. The right-hand content pane displays "The page cannot be
displayed" error. The final two lines of the error page say:
Cannot find server or DNS error
Internet Explorer
Viewing source I see the meta/title is: Cannot find server
I have re-exported a working 6.0 .style file (upgraded from the 5.3 .style)
to htmlhelp XSL but that stylesheet fails in the same way as noted above.
I am able to make a .chm using a generic 6.0 Styler session and an
axdocbook XML instance against both an axdocbook .style and an .xsl
exported from the .style so I do have properly wired up HTML Help at that
level.
(For some reason I can't get File > Publish > For HTML Help to appear. I
have been issuing "composehtmlhelp" from the command line after setting
peservices=off. I do not think this is related to the empty .chm problem
but who knows? FWIW: I have verified that my .dcf has <compose<br/>type="htmlhelp"></compose> in it.)
Interesting, I just ran my non-axdocbook XML against the exported axdocbook
.xsl stylesheet and got output. Weird. Maybe I'll see if I can just cut and
paste my relevant templates into a copy of the axdocbook stylesheet and
tune up the output which, of course, is not complete or correct using the
axdocbook stylesheet.
Any thoughts welcome.
