Embed WebHelp into CollabNet TeamForge

Post by **Frank Ralf** » Tue Jan 20, 2015 5:06 pm

Hi,

I want to embed oXygen's WebHelp output into a CollabNet TeamForge project page. The HTML pages are served from a special Subversion repository and embedded deeply in the CollabNet page at /html/body/div[4]/div[2]/table/tbody/tr/td[2]/table/tbody/tr/td. Because of this mechanism I face two problems:

1) The <head> section from the WebHelp HTML files together with all JavaScript gets lost.
2) The <iframe> which should show the individual content pages shows the CollabNet index.html instead.

Any pointers how to amend these issues are welcome.

TIA
Frank

I've already read at Re: Integrate jQuery that you plan some modifications to the WebHelp transformation for the next oXygen release.

As you can read in that post about embedding the WebHelp pages in other web page, index.html is embeddable in an <iframe> element, not in a table <td> element. The WebHelp page itself uses this mechanism for embedding the right-side panel, which lists the DITA topic content and which is an XHTML page itself that starts with an <html> element. So an <iframe> element is necessary as a parent element in your TeamFirge oage, that will embed a WebHelp page recursively, which means you need an <iframe> element which will embed the WebHelp page, which itself embeds the right-side panel with the DITA topic content, which is also an <html> element. If you don't use an <iframe> element the <head> elements like <link> and <script> can't be preserved, as you have already noticed with the <td> element.

We can give you access to an Oxygen beta build that allows embedding the WebHelp pages generated by the DITA WebHelp transformation in an <iframe> element if you want to test it. I will send you a link to an Oxygen beta build by email.

Hi Sorin,

Thanks for the quick reply. I will give the beta version a try and report back.

Kind regards,
Frank
