RH2017 - Miscellaneous files get generated while checking in help

[Tejas Dandekar]

We have a Responsive HTML5 project. When we generate the output and check-in the files in the respository there are a lot of unknown files that are generated with the output for example here are a few:

Responsive HTML5/whxdata/searchAuto_Model_11.js

/Responsive HTML5/whxdata/searchAuto_Model_12.js

Responsive HTML5/whxdata/searchAuto_Model_13.js

/Responsive HTML5/whxdata/searchAuto_Model_2.js

Responsive HTML5/whxdata/searchAuto_Model_3.js

Responsive HTML5/whxdata/package_55_xml.js

Responsive HTML5/whxdata/package_56_xml.js

Responsive HTML5/whxdata/package_57_xml.js

Responsive HTML5/whxdata/package_58_xml.js

Responsive HTML5/whxdata/package_59_xml.js

Responsive HTML5/whxdata/package_5_xml.js

Responsive HTML5/whxdata/package_60_xml.js

Any idea is this normal? What are these files and why do they get generated even when content changes are minimal.

[Peter Grainge]

Essentially these are the files that provide what users see and do beyond just your topics. They provide the TOC, the index, the toolbar and so on.

Adding a single word means the search has to be updated. That information gets spread around different files and it may mean redistributing the information.

It's normal.
