RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: HTMLHelp, base dir missing from filepaths in alias.h

[Maggie Strevell <maggie at ssinc dot com>]

I was hoping the solution would be to output all generated help files to the
$base.dir (.hhp, .hhc., etc...), then you wouldn't need to append the path
to the all the items in the alias file.

Is this a solution that fits better with everyone else?

I haven't tried test driven it yet, but everything looks good for context
sensitive help.  I can't see any reason why it won't work.

Thanks, it is fixed in CVS for now and will be in a next release.

BTW: I see that you are using <?dbhh ?> for creating context sensitive
help. Does it work? I personally hadn't chance to create some
application which use this HTML Help feature.
