#### 18.3.1 Creating an HTML Help project

To create an HTML Help project:

1. Create a project directory for HTML files, separate from the directory where your DITA document is located. Optionally, create a subdirectory for graphics files.
2. Copy configuration file _d2htmlhelp.ini from your DITA2Go config directory (see §1.3.1 Set up a framework for Omni Systems applications), or from an existing DITA2Go project, to your newly created output directory:
3. Use a text editor to edit _d2htmlhelp.ini (see §3.1 Working with DITA2Go configuration files).
4. Important: All the files you include in a compiled HTML Help system must be located in or below the directory that contains the .hhp project file. See §18.3.2 Deciding where to locate configuration settings.
