Oxygen XML Editor uses the DITA Open Toolkit and the HTML Help compiler (part of the
Microsoft HTML Help Workshop) to transform DITA content into Compiled HTML Help
(or CHM in short).
It is a good practice to validate the
DITA map before executing the transformation scenario. To do so, run the Validate and Check for
Completeness action. Depending on the selected options, this action
reports errors, such as topics referenced in other topics (but not in the DITA Map), broken
links, and missing external resources.
However, the execution of the transformation scenario may still fail. Reported errors include:
- [exec] HHC5010: Error: Cannot open "fileName.chm". Compilation stopped.
- this error occurs when the CHM output file is opened and the transformation scenario
cannot rewrite its content. To solve this issue, close the CHM help file and execute the
transformation scenario again.
- [exec] HHC5003: Error: Compilation failed while compiling fileName -
possible causes of this error are:
- the processed file does not exist. Fix the file reference before executing the
transformation scenario again.
- the processed file has a name that contains space characters. To solve the issue,
remove any spacing from the file name and execute the transformation scenario
again.
