How to use templates designed for the previous chm2web versions

As the template format has been considerably changed and the full-text search has been added in the chm2web 2.40, the templates created for the previous chm2web versions are no longer supported. In order to build the browser based help system using your old template please use chm2web 2.18, you can still download it from http://chm2web.aklabs.com/download.php.

Old type template conversion into a new one demands considerable efforts.

It is recommended to create the template again using the chm2web 2.40 documentation and standard templates from the Templates folder. You can move the [MOBILE.CONTENTS.BODY], [MOBILE.BODY] and [NOFRAMES.BODY] sections in most cases without changing from the old template into a new one.

Please keep in mind, that the template will not be displayed on the chm2web Templates tab until you specify the correct value for the FORBUILD variable in the [BODY.INFO] section.
