Postgresql-7.3.chm – This is the redistributed file containing all of the HTML files + the full-text search index.

Table of Contents.hhc – This is the Table of Conte= nts file. It is a text file that could potentially be generated from the = sgml docs with a Perl script. It is currently incomplete – it only h= as the top two or three levels.

PostgreSQL.hhp – This is a Microsoft HTML Help Workshop project file, containing settings for regenerating the CHM file.&n= bsp; It is also a text file, and could also be generated by a Perl script after documentation updates.

To regenerate the CHM file (after updates to the documen= tation files, for example): The hhp and hhc files expect the HTML to have be= en extracted to a subdirectory called “HTML” and that the FAQs are= in src/FAQ.
