Features
- Single frame Web Help application leveraging jQuery.
- The generated Web Help runs on
any recent desktop or mobile Web browser (Chrome, Safari,
Firefox, Opera, Edge), oldest supported Web browser being
Internet Explorer 11.
- Supports exactly the same bookmarks (e.g.
http://www.acme.com/docs/manual/chapter1.html#introduction
)
as the static XHTML pages which have been used as the input of the
compiler.
- The selected entry in the Contents panel is automatically
updated when you follow a link from within a page or from one page to
another.
- The generated Web Help applications optionally have an Index
tab. The corresponding Index panel may contain advanced entries
(hierarchical terms, see, see also).
- The looks of the generated Web Help is customizable (to a certain
extent) without having to tweak configuration, CSS or JavaScript
files:
- Some parameters may be used to override most fonts and colors
used in the generated Web Help.
- The compiler allows to add a customer header, footer or both to
the Web Help application it generates.
- The full-text indexer automatically makes use of the
xml:lang
or lang
attributes if found on some
elements of the XHTML input pages.
- Not a toy: allows to generate Web Help application comprising
hundreds of pages. However browsing large Web Helps requires having a
recent, fast, Web browser. Example of a large Web Help (the
corresponding PDF has 1210 A4 pages): Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA)
Version 1.3 Part 2: Technical Content Edition.
- Designed to be embedded in Java™
applications.
