### 18.13 Compiling and testing HTML Help

It is best to compile HTML Help in a directory different from your DITA2Go HTML Help project directory. You can have DITA2Go automatically copy the necessary files to a compilation directory, then run the HTML Help compiler; or, you can include copy commands in the configuration file, and run the HTML Help compiler yourself.
