Tips

CWD matters

For the wx docs at least, it's advisable to be in the .tex files' directory when running tex2rtf. Thus, instead of:

./tex2rtf ~/PATH/button.tex button.htm

you do:

~/PATH/tex2rtf ./button.tex ~/PATH/button.htm

Commandline for wx manual

 tex2rtf manual.tex ../../html/wx/wx.htm  -checkcurleybraces -checksyntax -html -twice -macros tex2rtf_css.ini  

If you run tex2rtf first time, you may want to do this first:

 cd docs/latex/wx/
 mkdir ../../html/wx/
 cp *.css *.gif ../../html/wx/

wxHtmlHelpController Book name is the \title command

In order to automatically name the "book" top level node of your document in the sidebar tree hierardchy pane in the wxHtmlHelpController, be sure to include a \title command. For example:

\title{My Application Help}
