Ha! I was working on a completely automated script to produce a CHM file, just like the ones I use from the PHP dox.
Is there an XML source for the files or are they manually maintained as HTML? I would STRONGLY recommend storing the dox in an XML format and then using a conversion process to produce HTML (static or dynamic is server can support it)/CHM/PDF/ThoutReader (http://www.osoft.com). Converting the XML to HTML can be done via XSLT easily enough. If the pages are held in DOCBOOK format this would be common with PHP dox. If there are any XSL experts out there (I'm not sorry), then http://cvs.php.net/phpdoc contains all the PHP documentation and build system (build system for web, html download, chm download - 2 variants with and without advanced styling/skinning capability), etc. The raw XML files are in the process of being converted to DOCBOOK and I believe most are already done. All the syntax highlighting for PHP is done within the XSLT and is fine. If anyone IS XSL expert and would like to see how the PHP build process works, then I can talk you through the installation process and build process easily enough (requires Cygwin if you are on Windows, otherwise I believe *ix has all the bits and pieces already in place, but you would need to check - for Windows, Cygwin contains everything you would need). Other than that, Kjell has done a great job. I didn't know there was one already available. I am in the process of building a process to construct my own CHM file (as I want to be able to add it to my own CHM dox - PHP/HTML/SQL/JS/CSS and now Prototype). I'm on Windows and use Teleport Pro to grab the entire site which also makes the entire site localhost only - no web files. From there stripping out Google/meta/scripts, etc. and then build index and finally construct CHM project file. Still a WIP, but fully automated. Regards, Richard Quadling.
