Convert .hhc and .hhk to *.html .

**Shell_Maniac** · 11-06-2007

I would want convert
"Table od contents.hhc" to index1.html
and
"index.hhk" to index2.html

with a command line. I don't want any GUI-software.

Tks in advance.

Is it only a name or does it have some kind of way that the file is build?
Since I never heard off hhc or hhk files.
Well if its just the extension do

Code:

mv *.hhc *.html

hahah...I know how rename a file, thanks.
hcc is a file used to index a web-site or a collection of html files.

See here
5.7. Sitemap formats
Htmlhelp - Creates configurable HTML and HHC files of Contents for any files types.. Provides an easy way to create HTML Help and Web Help (Browser-Based Help).

In my case, I encounter it, when I decompile a file.chm.
Some times the index is stored in toc.html, and other times it is stored in a *.hhc file

I decompile the file.chm in the directory tempDir with this command:

Code:

extract_chmLib file.chm TempDir

Do you understand?

When I open these files with firefox or other browser(opera, seamonkey, konqueror), they don't open it.

Im sorry I still dont get you.
So, with extract_chmLib file.chm TempDir you can decompile a file to html.
And then you chance the chm into that what you posted later on?
So, then its extract_chmLib *.chm TempDir

Im sorry I just dont really get your question.
Can you maybe upload a chm file and what you want to get so I can see.
Cheers,
Robin

**Shell_Maniac** · 11-07-2007

I can't upload the chm file because it is covered by copiright.

Listen me, download the file FILE1.chm, and decompile it into TempDir1:

Code:

extract_chmLib FILE1.chm TempDir1

You can see the files Table of Contents.hhc and Index.hhk.

Conversely, download the file FILE2.chm and decompile it into TempDir2

Code:

extract_chmLib FILE2.chm TempDir2

now, you can see the file toc.html (Table of contents).

I can open the file toc.html with my browser, but can't open the files Table of Contents.hhc and Index.hhk.
Do you understand?

PS: Excuse me for my bad english.

**RobinVossen** · 11-07-2007

Ok, well now I understand what you want.
You downloaded some Books and you want to be able to read them in any browser. (Since they are in Windows Format) And you can read the entire book except the ToC and Index.
Ok, well I got you now. (I guess..)

Well, check out: Puppy Linux Discussion Forum :: View topic - wxBasic-Help (alpha)

I hope I now finally helped

**Shell_Maniac** · 11-07-2007

I don't want simply read these files, I want convert them to *.html, because I have a software (HTMLDOC) that works with *.html (and htm) files only.

**RobinVossen** · 11-07-2007

if you read that topic you see they talk about converting aswell.
