What output files contain TOC and Index contents?

Question

I would like to "fool" a webhelp system into believing it has
only the topics produced with a conditional text tag. But I cannot
find where the output content of the TOC and Index reside. I am not
speaking of the source files (HHK and HHC).

Answer 1

You have complete and utter control over what the TOC shows
before you generate webhelp. Whatever is in the TOC view is what
will display in WebHelp, unless you exclude a topic from the build.
RH includes all untagged topics, and you cannot condition a
build to omit them from the TOC, or, for that matter, from the
WebHelp package. If you condition WebHelp to include some tags and
to exclude others, RH will build the WebHelp TOC accordingly,
including the untagged items.
If you want to maintain, say, 100 entries in the RH source
TOC, but to exclude references to 30 that don''t carry a particular
flag, tag those 30 topics and exclude them from the conditional
build..
