Converter Messages
When converting a project or a compiled Help file, the converter displays messages in the General Output window during the process and creates a conversion log after the conversion is complete. An error message appears on-screen to notify you when converter messages have been generated in the Output window. The following types of messages are generated:
Warning
Error
Completion status
Warning Messages
Because HTML Help 1.x and Microsoft Help 2.0 have different file structures, the converter may encounter an HTML Help 1.x construct that has no direct translation in Microsoft Help, but for which a reasonably close translation can be made. For example, HTML Help 1.x information types are converted to attributes in Microsoft Help. In these cases, the converter makes the translation and issues a warning.
注意
Warnings of a given type are issued only once.

Error Messages
At times, the converter may encounter a situation for which it has no close translation or solution. When this occurs, it will issue an error message and stop processing the current file. If processing a project, the converter will continue to process the rest of the project if possible.
