Generating web-based help

[Bill Swallow]

David, you don't mention what tools or process you use to create the CHMs,
but I'll try to answer your questions:

1. As Roger mentioned, you cannot open a CHM over the web or on network
drives. It's a format for local deployment only.

2. You can probably just use the uncompiled HTML.

3. If you use the uncompiled HTML, you shouldn't need to change any
formatting.
