TOC and Index Files

UniHelp utilizes an XML-based Table of Contents and Keyword Index, so it requires two specific XML files to be located in your help folder (or help Virtual Volume) in order to properly run: uhtoc.xml and uhindex.xml.

If you use HelpLogic to publish your help pages for use with UniHelp, then HelpLogic automatically creates those two XML files for you.

While these are standard XML files, they do use a specific syntax that UniHelp expects, so if you modify these files with incorrect XML code, then they will not work properly in UniHelp. If you are not comfortable writing XML code, then we do NOT recommend trying to manually create or edit these XML files yourself in a text editor or XML editor.

For best results and to avoid problems, we highly recommend using HelpLogic to publish your help pages and the required XML files for UniHelp.
