Merge files

In the list of merged files you define the external help files (CHM format), that you want to be also available when the user browses your help. It means that the index of keywords, the fulltext search index, and (when specified) the table of contents can be viewed by the user as it is a part of your help project.

If you want to include the table of contents of external help into your contents, you have to define an appropriate item in your table of contents.

The advantage of such definition is that the help files (including yours) are compiling separately and can be distributed separately, one without the other.

But keep in mind that if you want to use informations from the external help, it must be included in the distribution of your help files.

The list of merged files is accessible through the Settings navigation panel.
