In few word, how I did it, was via JavaScript to have a straight away an=
d  =

easy access to the DOM of each HTML page. The JavaScript program returne=
d  =

me some data needed to create the tree and index. The JavaScript was  =

embedded with simple <script href=3D"...">, the page was loaded in a bro=
wser  =

to execute the JavaScript, then the <script href=3D"..."> 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 (wit=
h  =

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 mu=
ch  =

easier than that. I won't forget to tell here when something will be rea=
dy  =

(just be patient, that's not planed for tomorrow, probably somewhere  =

during the year).
