I use the following programs and they work just fine...


A quick way to edit colors from within the help file:
  • Options / Internet Options... / General Tab / Accessibility / check "Ignore colors specified on webpages" / OK / Colors / uncheck "Use Windows colors" / select your preferred colors / OK

It's also possible to choose a custom stylesheet but unfortunately all fonts and colors are hardcoded into the html files :(. Maybe I'll fix that tomorrow (if I'm bored).

Only partially... You need a .hhp file for HTML Help Workshop and KeyTools generates it for you.

You need a .hhp
I have templates (Ru En), I do not need an internal hhp file.
If you need to compress more compactly, then I use htm2chm

Preview has a good effect, so I’m showing my option

Thanks for all these infos, seems to work now :P

The last actions I did...
- installing the help workshop (told me that a more actual version has been already on my system)
- deinstallaing the workshop
- hhc told me now, that itircl.dll wouldn't have been registered
- registering itirc.dll using regsvr32
- hhc told me again, that itircl.dll wouldn't have been registered
- installing the help workshop again

Now I get a full text search

HTML pages never use BOM because the encoding is specified in "charset=..."
