- Overview
- Options of the "General" tab
- Options of the "Images" tab
The help editor options allow you to define: - the different help compilers used ("General" tab).
- the check performed on the help system when it is opened ("General" tab).
- the quality of the images generated during the compilation ("Images" tab).
- the images inserted into a page ("Images" tab).
To view the options of the help editor, on the "Home" tab, in the "Environment" group, expand "Options" and select "Help editor options". Options of the "General" tab The "General" tab includes the following options:
- Help compiler: WINDEV comes with the help compiler HTML Help compiler: this compiler corresponds to the hhc.exe. This program is available in the "Programs" subdirectory of the WINDEV installation directory.
- Help system integrity: In the event of a problem when the help system is opened, it is possible to check (and correct) the help system as soon as it is opened. Simply check "Check the integrity of the help system when loading".
Warning This operation may take some time. It should be used before opening a help system that causes problems, and then it should be unchecked.
Options of the "Images" tab The "Images" tab includes the following options:
- JPEG image quality (CHM format only): When creating your help in the help editor, any type of image can be inserted into your help pages. However, when compiling in CHM format, all the images used will be automatically converted into JPEG format. Indeed, this compressed format is used to optimize the size of your help files.
The help editor of WINDEV allows you to choose the quality of the JPEG images created during the compilation.
You should use a quality rate included between 50 and 70 %.
Please note The higher the quality of the images, the sharper they will be, but the larger the compiled CHM file will be. - Managing the insertion of an image in a help page: When inserting an image in a help page, several options are available:
- Ask for each image whether it must be copied in to the project directory.
- Always copy the images into the project directory This option keeps all images used by the help file in the project directory.
- Never copy the images into the project directory all images used by the help file remain in their original directory. If these images are no longer available when the help file is compiled, a white square will be displayed in the help file.
