Logo Scrapbook CHM Creator

Requirements

Scrapbook CHM Creator will not function unless either the Scrapbook or Scrapbook+ extension is installed in Firefox. You will also require a help compiler for your platform. Microsoft makes it's HTML Help Workshop available freely at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms669985.aspx. Scrapbook CHM Creator only requires access to the compiler, hhc.exe, or an equivalent. The rest of the Workshop is not used but you may like to have it handy if you wish to modify the project files output by Scrapbook CHM Creator.

Scrapbook tools menu

Before you can create a compiled help file you need to configure the extension. You can access the options dialogue from the add-on manager or from Scrapbook's "Tools" menu in the sidebar header, under the "Add-on Functions" sub-menu. The dialogue consists of three tabs. The first tab, called General, contains the options for the HTML Help compiler. Set the path to your help compiler by entering it into the "Path to help compiler" field or by using the browse button. Set the desired output path in a similar fashion.
