How you link to another compiled help (.chm) file depends on how you want the help file or a topic to appear.
For example, you can link from a Web page to a compiled help file, or from a contents or index entry in the Help Viewer to a topic in another help file. The type of link you use depends on the location you are linking from and where you want to link to.
You can link to a compiled help (.chm) file using a standard HTML link:
- Open a compiled help file from a Web page or topic file.
- Open a compiled help file from a contents or index entry.
However, using this method you cannot open a specific topic in a compiled help file. The file will open with the default topic displayed.
Alternatively, you can create a link to a specific topic in a compiled help file and display it in your current browser window or the Help Viewer. Using this method, you can:
- Link to a topic in a compiled help file from a Web page or topic file.
- Link from a contents or index entry to a topic in another compiled help file.
- Link from a topic in a WinHelp file to a topic in an HTML Help file.
