My primary problem is that I would like to create help pages of Mathematica packages stored in directories which are not at the top level of my private Mathematica Applications directory. The Workbench creates hyperlinked help pages for such packages which work inside the Workbench but not when exported to the corresponding subdirectory of the Mathematica Applications directory. I checked the example you provided on your homepage (http://www.dbaileyconsultancy.co.uk/ m_documentation/m_documentation.html). But it seems that this example also deals with help pages for a package in a directory which is on the top level of the Mathematica Applications directory. If I am wrong, please correct me. But I would really appreciate if you can provide more details how to deal with packages in in deeper subdirectories of the Mathematica Applications directory, no matter of using the Workbench or some other approach.
