I installed chinese language pack also but its not resolving. please help me to resolve
HTML Help v1.0 was released 1997. It is old and not Unicode enabled. So all project files (.hhp, .hhc, .hhk) and HTML topic files (.htm, .html) all need to be saved as ANSI. If the HTML is encoded as Unicode (UTF-8 or UTF-16 aka UNICODE) non-English chars wont be handed correctly in the HH navigation (TOC, Index, Search). The embedded browser (content area on right of the help viewer) will however display the topic text fine since this is a UNICODE enabled control.
To correctly compile and display say e.g. Japanese Help you will need to find a e.g. Japanese Windows PC, or change the PC Region settings to use Japanese.

I'm trying to send an email with an html5 file attached to it. The problem is that when I open the file with Outlook, the encoding changes from utf-8 to another configuration, once it has some text in brazilian portuguese written in the file it's very important to have the proper encoding.
Is it possible to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance!
i just open a new project in angular 2 with asp.net and I have any issue when I write in Hebrew characters, it looks like it not support when I write any letter in hebrew
that's what I see
when I write this code
<h1>
בדיקה בדיקה
</h1>
photo of screen save
Try this solution which worked for me as suggested here
Open all your html, css, js (all client files that relevant to this
project) using notepad and save them with utf-8 encoding. Notice that
this might change the hebrew text and the content a little. After that
you should see hebrew.
I found a solution.
in visual studio code choose save as to any html file, then before you press on save button you have option (when you press on the arrow in save button) save with encoding and then change it to utf 8
I am trying to save a customized html file as a pdf.. normally I would press ctrl-P at my browser (chrome) and print as pdf..
But when I open the pdf file, there is no bookmark tab on the left side of the pdf reader (adobe)..
What I want is to save an html file as a pdf and the bookmark should appear in the left side of the pdf reader:
I created the html file.. I added links to some parts of it using id and hyperlink:
part1
...some codes here...
<div id="part1">
and it works, but I don't know how to create a bookmark in pdf from an html... normally ms word or libre office can convert their documents to pdf with a bookmark..
But how can I made a pdf with a bookmark using HTML?
Okay, so I ran into this problem and really wanted there to be a solution here that worked. When there wasn't, I figured I should add what I found so that hopefully the next developer can benefit from it.
First up: HTML conversion to PDF isn't really up to the HTML itself - it's up to whatever the conversion engine decides to do with your HTML. So for instance, if your approach is: Open it in IE/Chrome/Firefox/whatever > File > Print > Microsoft Print to PDF - well, your conversion engine is 'Microsoft Print to PDF'. Doesn't matter what browser you were using at that point - all its doing is creating a print stream to send to a printer. So if Microsoft Print to PDF isn't going to make bookmarks for you (which it doesn't) then it doesn't matter which web browser you use to open the PDF.
And this is the critical problem with any Ctrl-P / Print avenues. The web browser is ultimately creating a print stream, which the conversion library simply streams into a PDF. And all the web browsers I looked at do not have native support built in to convert to PDF (why would they? 99% of the use cases are covered with a 'Print to PDF' functionality.) And the print drivers I tried (Microsoft Print to PDF, Adobe PDF Print) didn't manage to suss out bookmarks from the raw print stream. Which makes sense.
So, at this point, what you're looking for is a standalone PDF Conversion engine - something that can actively open the HTML file and convert from there, instead of going through a web browser. Are there PDF Conversion engines that do this and add Header-Tag based bookmarks? Possibly. The ones we had at our disposal (ABCPdf, Neevia) weren't able to do it, but it's certainly possible there's one out there.
So what now?
There are a few different options I explored.
Option #1: Separate Files, Combined With Adobe
Adobe Acrobat (non-viewer version), when it's the conversion engine, will automatically add bookmarks for each file it converts. So you can submit the HTML contents, not as a single HTML file, but as HTML files for each section you want a bookmark over.
The good news is that if a section has a hyperlink that points to another document its merging, it's smart enough to have that hyperlink point to the spot within the internal PDF its creating (it's not an external hyperlink like I expected it would be). There are two bits of bad news, though:
Each section has to be the start of a PDF page. If your section is
two inches tall, the rest of the page will be blank, and the next
section will start on the following page.
The bookmarks aren't clean. When I did it, each file had 3
bookmarks. Which is pretty darned ugly and off-putting.
Option #2: Separate Files, Combined With Another Library
The first 'downside' of Option #1 might not be a problem. But the second is pretty ugly. And other libraries definitely can create the bookmarks without creating 3-per-file. The main obstacle here is: the library has to be smart enough to resolve those 'external' hyperlinks to within the PDF that's created. One thing that often hurts is that those conversion libraries often want to convert each separate file to a PDF internally first and then merge the PDFs together... but that means that it won't handle the cross-file hyperlinks correctly. I wasn't able to find a way to make this work with our existing PDF conversion libraries.
Option #3: Different Origination Method
Instead of having a 'Help.html', which is then converted to PDF somehow, start with a format other than HTML. And the easiest source to get into PDF+Bookmarks is MSWord+Headers. Generally, for each PDF help file you want, you can have a master .DOCX sitting somewhere behind the scenes. We've used this approach before, and while it's not the most elegant, it at least works pretty well.
Option #4: Programmatic with Library
This might not be applicable for the OP's use case... but if you're generating the help, there's nothing to say you can't use the PDF Conversion library programatically to add whatever bookmarks you want. Pretty much every PDF engine I've seen allows API access to bookmarks, so if this avenue is open to you, it's almost certainly the cleanest solution-wise.
Option #5: PDF Conversion Scouring
Like I mentioned, it's possible there's a PDF conversion engine out there that has a good HTML parsing engine and can handle bookmarks from various HTML tags (like H1, H2, etc.) However, it's probably going to take a bit to find it, because it's so much easier for a potential engine-writer to allow the file to be rendered with a native viewer. Think about it. If you were writing a PDF Conversion Service, which would you rather do:
Develop routines that can accurately render an HTML document fed
into it - aka, basically write your own web browser from scratch.
Have IE/Chrome/Whatever render it and simply take their print output
to convert to PDF.
... that second option is so ridiculously easier than the first, that it's no surprise most PDF Conversion engines don't have their own internal HTML parser (or for that matter, Word parser, Excel parser, etc.)
The bookmarks in html input document are set like this:
....
...
...
...
<h1 id="marcador1"> Chapter 1 </h1>
...
Don't use chrome, although it is simple to convert a web page to a PDF file. If you want pdf bookmarks, you can try microsoft word (2010). Just save the web pages to local, and open it with MS word 2010, then save it as pdf. The bookmark is there. see also: https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/PDF2.html
App comparison for converting PDF (regarding bookmark & internal hyperlink)

file format looking
(Though I said "looks same as the webpage", its not "exactly" same as the webpage -- you need to config the settings when you convert.
Also some minor parts / components of the webpage may or may not be contained in the PDF.)
Calibre Usage
To use Calibre (As shown, Calibre contains the bookmark. But it doesnt have internal hyperlink.)
webpage is downloaded as .htm (along with a folder)
drag the .htm into Calibre, it becomes a .zip file
use Convert books to convert .zip to .pdf
You may need to set up the bookmark detection mechanism in Convert books > Table of Contents if Calibre doesnt detect it.
Calibre is highly customizable on the conversion
(wish I know how to solve the issue of "not having internal hyperlink" directly inside Calibre, without going through HTTrack)
To use Calibre, with HTTrack to add internal hyperlink:
use HTTrack to download the webpage
(with depth of level of 1 (--ie: just current webpage), should be enough)
(you may need to config it so that it captures external files like images / syntax-format files)
drag the index.html into Calibre ... (proceed same as [2~4] above)
(you need to enable the option of creating the index.html)
WPS docx Usage (not recommend)
webpage is downloaded as .htm (along with a folder)
save as .docx
output as .pdf (enable the option convert title style format to bookmark)
(if no title style format is detected, that may due to the title are actually in the style format of hyperlink style format, you need to manually remove all those hyperlink style format.)

Personally, I believe big companies like Adobe should have such functionality to include bookmarks in PDF. It just I dont know how to do it...
I'm faced with situation when I need to edit a .mht file (for example: add some text to site).
Could you please suggest a way of editing .mht (web archive) files?
What I've tried:
(editors like: notepad, word);
I-Explorer add-ons (like HTML Quick edit Bar)
An MHTML file is a web page archive format. It is meant to be stored and viewed but not to be edited directly.
However, you can easily extract the MHTML file to a regular HTML document (with linked files), edit it with your favorite HTML editor and then export it back to an MHTML archive (including the linked files).
Since you're using Internet Explorer, note that you can open/save between HTML and MHTML files. This can effectively be used to unpack, edit and repack the MHTML archive. Google Chrome can do this as well.
You may also find software that are able to edit the MHTML file directly (doing the unpacking/repacking in the background). Microsoft Word seems to be able to do this, but depending on your document structure, it may impact the content layout.
A quick look at the wikipedia entry for MHTML shows that it's an archive format, a little bit like a zip or rar archive. In order to edit a .mht you will need to unpack it, edit the required file then repack the archive.
You don't say what platform/software you are using but if you do a websearch for ".mht unpacker" you should be able to find something to do the job.
Unpacking a .mht to a local folder, edit the code and re-save it to .mht won't work. If you save to .mht from a local drive none of the linked files (pictures and whatever else is used for the page other than included within the html file) will be stored in the container.
I used Word (office 365) to open modify and save the changes. Maybe is not a optimal solution but works.
WizBrother.com WizHtmlEditor is a super capable fast and light wysiwyg editor that is ideal for quick assembly of elements because it can accept almost anything you throw at it - an entire screen of formatted html including pictures, rtf, drag-n-drop from a browser, and from clipboard, even media files. It doesn't care if it's editing MHT or HTML or several other formats. It's free - and they have a bulk converter BTW. Do a search and see.
I just open and edit with Microsoft Word. This is actually the official approved way of doing it BTW.
I am creating a HTML 5 user manual. This contains a number of image folders and js fodlers. Now i wish to distribute this as a single document. In Windows there is mht or something to that effect. Is there any way I can do this on ubuntu that is not browser or OS dependent?
notice that :MHTML, short for MIME HTML, is a web page archive format used to bind resources which are typically represented by external links (such as images, Flash animations, Java applets, audio files) together with HTML code into a single file. The content of an MHTML file is encoded as if it were an HTML email message, using the MIME type multipart/related. The first of the file is normally encoded HTML; subsequent parts are additional resources identified by their original URLs and encoded in base64. This format is sometimes referred to as MHT, after the suffix .mht given to such files by default when created by Microsoft Word, Internet Explorer or Opera. MHTML is a proposed standard, circulated in a revised edition in 1999 as RFC 2557.
So try to save document as regular html with none of dependency. this will be run at any OS independently.
Well, as far as I know you won't be able to really distribute this manual as HTML OS independent.
BUT: you can distribute it as PDF, ZIP-file, host it anywhere, ePub, etc. These are pretty good options for your needs. Safari has a pretty cool feature called webarchive, but this only zips ONE single page to a viewable, always-the-same-looking page. And it will only be viewable with Safari. So you'd have to do this for ALL your pages...
