In few word, how I did it, was via JavaScript to have a straight away and  
easy access to the DOM of each HTML page. The JavaScript program returned  
me some data needed to create the tree and index. The JavaScript was  
embedded with simple <script href="...">, the page was loaded in a browser  
to execute the JavaScript, then the <script href="..."> was removed. I did  
it in turn for all pages, then merged all the data corresponding to each  
page, appropriately. Apart of that, CHM just expect plain HTML page (with  
some restriction), so the HTML pages was not changed, and only data  
extraction was needed, for some files required by he HTMLHELP compiler.

But please, wait, if I ever do what I said, generating a CHM would be much  
easier than that. I won't forget to tell here when something will be ready  
(just be patient, that's not planed for tomorrow, probably somewhere  
during the year).
