Easy HHK is an HTML Help development tool that generates index, map, and alias files for compiling a chm help file and integrating it into an application. It minimizes hours of work down to just seconds.
The software parses a list of index words from the topic files found in an HTML help project. Moreover, the tool offers an optional filtration option, which can be used to exclude specific words during the parsing process. This feature can include using a default list of exclusion words to exclude words such as "the," "and," "is," "a," and other commonly used terms.
Additionally, users can move words from the parsed list to an exclusion list, which is editable using the software's built-in exclusion list editor. The default exclude list can also be maintained and optionally used.
The software offers an option to maintain secondary exclude lists for any help project. For instance, the word "click" may occur many times as a verb and never as a noun in the help topic files. It may not be that useful to have the word "click" in the index.
The tool exports the list of words parsed from the topic files to an ASCII text file, enabling further review and spell checking. Once the parsed list is ready, users need to click the Build Index button to generate the hhk file, which they can then compile with the help project. The software also optionally generates context map, alias files, or a topic map file that is used to integrate the compiled HTML help with an application.
Overall, Easy HHK is an exceptional software tool that streamlines the HTML Help development process, saving time and ensuring maximum convenience for users.
