Haven't used a mac for 15+ years. using a mac book with snow leopard installed.
I have a chm that I want to make available on mac osx 1.5 and later. I'm following the Apple Help Programming Guide and have a few questions:
1. Does all html content (except the title page) need to be in one folder? The directory structure used to generate the windows chm has multiple sub folders; I hoped to avoid maintaining two sets of source files.
2. What XCode software should i use to ""Install the help folder in the Resources folder with XCode"? (Help Book registration section of the Apple guide): There are numerous templates in the XCode window (cocoa app, installer plug-in, interface builder plug in, etc.) The help will not be bundled with the s/w application.
3. Adding keys to the info.plist file (I assume this is generated with whatever XCode project is selected, but I don't know for sure). The names of keys required start with "CF" in the Apple guide, but not in the XCode keys I saw in XCode. Is the info in the apple guide old? (version 2009-05-29)
3. Apple Guide recommends that the help book title page be xhtml, but the title page for mac help is html. Does it make a big difference?
4. Will a help book created on Snow Leopard (10.6) be compatible with Leopard (10.5)?
Thanks in advance...
