The Desperate HDK fix

1. Backup the whole project
2. Export the template and save it.
3. Go back to the old project and in each of the documents Select All then add the content as item in the Gallery.
4. Make a new project using the exported template
5. Make a new document inserting a Gallery item into each new document.
6. Check that you have the same number of documents as the original project.
7. Go into Topic Outliner and in full screen mode clean up the structure of your hierarchy.
8. Clean up any duplicates (like graphics).
9 Compile and check for errors

Hypertext and PDF?

Use hypertext (WinHelp & HTML) as the trunk and branches and PDF as the leaves. Hypertext for the information that can be read on the screen and PDF for detail that needs to be printed to be read.

Opening another instance of the browser

In the HDK URL box add the URL and the target
After the URL add a closing quote
then the exact next line
target="_blank

Note no closing quote for the target string, HDK will supply that.
