DocBook to Microsoft Help File - all linked files being included
I've just been 
working on a document and I find some behaviour I'd like to 
stop.

 

I'm writing some 
instructions for a process.

Part of the 
instructions concerns software to install and I've included <ulink> 
elements pointing to a selection of zip files.

This is all fine 
when generating a single html file or a pdf.  The resulting files are 
reasonable in size and the links are genuine links on the web, or links to one 
of our local servers.

However, when I 
generate a Microsoft compiled html help file, all the zip files are included in 
the resultant chm file.  Which as a result is very much larger than the 
other two formats (16Mb against a few hundred Kb).  I would like to stop 
this happening.

Of course the whole 
point of a chm file is that it is a mini web-site all in one file, but for some 
items, which start off as DocBook <ulink> elements I'd like this not to 
happen.

Can I put anything 
in the DocBook source to stop this happening ?

Or is there 
something I can do when calling hhc ?

 

Appreciatively,

Richard.
