The documentation is misleading; sorry. You certainly can have your main
page also be your title page, and that's how it's commonly done. The
Help Viewer decides that a given file is the special title/main help
file by your defining the "AppleTitle" META tag in that file.
The CFBundleHelpBookName key is set to be your AppleTitle, and the
CFBundleHelpBookFolder key is set to be the folder containing the
special file, and all other files that make up your "help book".
For further questions regarding authoring of Apple Help books, I'd
recommend joining the Apple Help Authoring mailing list (available via
lists.apple.com).

In my continuing adventures to learn Mac OS X....
The documentation for creating Apple Help, & Apple Help Books, under
Mac OS X
states you add you register a Help Book's Name and Folder in the
property
list. Simple with Project Builder (no need for API calls). But the
documents
also state you need to create a main page (first page to bring up) and a
title page (containing title info like icon, name, etc). When you look
at
various Help Book examples (mostly Apple's iDVD, iTunes, iMovie, etc),
you
see that they only create a single page. This page contains the special
meta
tags for title info, as well as the main window info (I think).
This is against documentation, what is going on?
I could also not figure out how the Help Viewer decides what is the
title
page/main page. There doesn't seem to be any place you set this
information,
nor special ways to indicate that the specific page is special. Is the
title/main page simple the only page in the Help Book (it usually is),
while
on secondary pages are in the subfolder?
Help!?!?!
