Webhelp output - Add transformation parameter for home URL

[Rodrik]

It would be helpful if a parameter were added to the DITA Map Webhelp transformation scenario allowing a URL to a documentation home site to be specified. Ideally this should then appear as a link in the navigation bar, perhaps near Content|Search tabs.

I am not sure if such a link in a prominent position like the navigation bar or in the page header (near the main title above the Content and Search tabs) would be useful to most Webhelp users. I can give you instructions though, if you want, for adding such a URL link by modifications in an Oxygen XSLT file called by the Webhelp transformation.

Thank you, Sorin. I would appreciate it if you would send me the instructions.

Hi,

The title area of the Webhelp page and the Content, Search and Index tabs are created in the XSLT template with the attribute name="create-toc-common-file" in the file:

Code: Select all

OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR\frameworks\docbook\xsl\com.oxygenxml.webhelp\xsl\createMainFiles.xsl

For adding a link to other page (for example a link to your home page) I suggest looking at the XHTML code that is created near the following line inside this XSLT template, which is a call that creates the Content, Search and Index tabs:

Code: Select all

<xsl:call-template name="create-tabs-divs"/>

Done. Thank you.
