My goal is to achieve an automated process which converts HTML files into the CHM file format.
I am able to generate chm file using hhp from command line.
hhc filename.hhp
But hhp file was generated using HTML helper tool. How I can create hhp file using the command line?
Or how to created a CHM file if you have HTML files only?
Write the hhp by hand or generate using a different programming language. The .hhp is just html tool's project, containing the settings and filelist for conversion
The best solution is to integrate the hhp generation with your html generation if you do so.

I'm using GoLand IDE. When I open an HTML file I could see different colors in the file content, but when I open a .tmpl file which is used in Go-Template file, I couldn't check it like an HTML file, but when I change its postfix to .html instead of .tmpl it occurs.
So, how can I open .tmpl (Go-Template) file same as an HTML file in GoLand IDE?
Also, I tried with PyCharm IDE but the result was the same.
You can add *.tmpl to the list of patterns registered for HTML file type in Settings | Editor | File Types
I am looking for a c/c++ library which can be used to convert html string/file into pdf. Researching StackOverflow led me to wkhtmltopdf c library. I download the zip from http://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html. When I run wkhtmltopdf using command line it works fine and converts the HTML file into pdf output file. But my requirement is to convert HTML file or html string(preferably) into pdf file programmatically from a C++ program. I do not want to use it as command line(or mimic it using say UNIX like "system" command). I am using Windows OS. Could anyone please help me how do I achieve it using wkhtmltopdf. Thank you in advance.
I try generate from IrfanView cmd interface HTML page from directory with Thumbnails, but I can't find any parameter or options, how I can do it.
I can generate Thumbnails via:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\IrfanView\i_view32.exe" "C:\Test\FullScreens\*.jpg" /resize=(100,100) /aspectratio /resample /convert="C:\Test\*.png
I can't find this in cmd:
It is possible to realize this?
Thank you, Regards,
Peter
The text file i_options.txt in program files folder of IrfanView contains all options which can be used on command line. There is no option to create an HTML file. This must be done via GUI using the captured dialog.
But after creating the thumbnails for the images, it would be of course possible to create with a batch file also the HTML file using the commands echo, for, if and set with output created by several echo command lines redirected to the HTML file to create. Executing in a command prompt window help echo, help for, ... displays help on those internal commands of command interpreter cmd.
However, it would be a lot of work to create a batch file with all the parameters of the dialog. And it would make the batch file slower to really support all those parameters. A tailor-made batch file for creating the HTML file exactly like you want them would be much easier to code.
I suggest to try by yourself coding the batch file to create the HTML file. Create a new question with a link to this question, if you have somewhere a problem which you can't solve by yourself. Post in this question the batch code you have so far and the content of the HTML file created by IrfanView which should be instead created by the batch file.
I have a directory containing multiple html files. Need to create chm file using all the html files of the directory.
I am trying to create chm file using chmprocessor.
(downloaded from- http://sourceforge.net/projects/chmprocessor/files/)
I have referred http://chmprocessor.sourceforge.net/ and tried following:
I selected html file using "Add file" under Source Files tab. And selected the directory using "Add directory" under additional files tab. But it didn't worked.
Could any one please suggest the steps to create chm file using the directory containing html files?
I have also tried using HTML Help Workshop, but this tool does not provide the capability to directly create chm file by selecting the directory containing html files.
This is really annoying - after installing chmProcessor I have given the tool a longer try and the chmProcessor for (good structered) Word files (*.doc) is really working good.
But testing for HTML with the one selected HTML at 'Source files' makes me crazy as a former Microsoft Help MVP. Only linked files are included in the CHM I added with "Add Directory".
I put a 'Change Request' for more documentation about 'Source files' to SourceForge where you may download my test sample and some snaps of things I tried:

HTMLHelp Workshop has a learn curve and creating Table of Contents (TOC) needs a fairly long time.
So, one more thought: You may have your HTML files in a web structure with sub-directories. A tool I have experience with is FAR HTML. Using the Help Wizard makes a CHM in some minutes. These is shown in a Video I uploaded for you. Give it a try - it's free with full working functions for some weeks.

I have an A.chm file for my windows application which runs as expected.
When I decompile it using HTML workshop I get set of html files, .hhc file, .hhk file. When I compile another file B.chm from these extracted files without changing any of the files.((I want to add more html contents to this file but looks like I am losing some information after decompiling)) The output file I get is 72K where as the original file was 75K. B.chm's contents look all file when viewed in the chm viewer but the behavior is lost when when used with the application.
After reading around I found that if .hhp can be extracted from a .chm file then it can be re-constructed as it is without losing any mapping or aliases. Is that true?
How can I extract .hhp file from a .chm file?
Thanks,
Sam
No, Yes , and no.
The original hhp can't be guaranteed extracted
however since chm is an archive type, the project could have added all project files to the archive. I assume you already would have found them if that were the case.
If the decompile process does its administration, it can regenerate the .hhp to a certain degree.
Comments and #define names will probably be lost though, maybe more, but that should not result in problems when recompiling.
But of course it could be that the decompiler is limited. You could try some other (search for something from "keytools").
If not, then take "chmlib" and start drilling down into the format.
