Select All Button for WebHelp

[JeffR]

I notice the forum has a "Select All" button for code snippets.

Can we get that functionality for the webhelp xform?

Hello,

That functionality is not available in the Webhelp output. If you tell us where you would like to add this button in the Webhelp page I could tell you what XSLT file you need to modify for adding the button and the code that executes the button in the Webhelp transformation.

Hi Sorin,

I'd like to have a copycode button for every instance of the codeblock element.

It would all my readers to use code snippets with much more ease.

A useful example from MSDN: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jpsanders/archi ... locks.aspx

Thanks!

Hi,

You will have to customize this XSLT template:

Code: Select all

<xsl:template match="*[contains(@class, ' topic/pre ')]" mode="pre-fmt">

which is located in the file:

OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\plugins\org.dita.xhtml\xsl\xslhtml\dita2htmlImpl.xsl

You should add a Copy Code button in the Webhelp pages next to the code snippets (the content of a codeblock element in a DITA XML topic) by overriding the above XSLT template with the standard XSLT overriding mechanism by adding an xsl:template element with the same attributes (<xsl:template match="*[contains(@class, ' topic/pre ')]" mode="pre-fmt">). You should add your overriding XSLT template in this file:

OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\plugins\com.oxygenxml.webhelp\xsl\dita\desktop\fixup.xsl

This XSLT template should add the Copy Code button as XHTML code (for example a button element) and attach also the action code (JavaScript, etc) for copying the code snippet to the XHTML button.

Sorry, for now we don't have a more convenient/expedient way for this type of customization (adding a custom button, associated with a particular DITA XML element, in the content of a Webhelp page).

I don't seem to have the file structure required for the first part in 15.2

org.dita.xhtml contains 4 build files, conductor and plugin.

Sorry, in version 15.2 the correct file path is:

OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\xsl\xslhtml\dita2htmlImpl.xsl

The file name is the same, it's just the directory structure that is a little different.
