Edit main page

[jmanier]

Hello,

Is it possible to set a custom template for main page ? (For example, displaying a dita page)
If yes, how ?
If no, the only option to customize the main page is to add a welcome fragment ?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Jeremy

Hello,

There are quite some possibilities when it comes to modifying the main page of the WebHelp Responsive output.

The How to Change the Main Page Layout section from the User-Guide for example presents some ways to change the main page layout:

• customize the menu
• use publishing templates to add a welcome fragment to the main page (this is just a general example, but in a similar way you could use publishing templates to perform any other styling / layout changes to the main page)
• configure the tiles on the main page

To get familiar with using publishing templates, you could take a look at this new video demonstration.

Another way to customize the WebHelp main page layout is to use HTML Fragment Extension Points, as the oXygen WebHelp Responsive system has placeholders components that permit the insertion of HTML fragments.
Please see THIS PAGE to have a clear view over the available placeholders and the appropriate parameters you could use in the transformation scenario to customize their HTML content.

Last but not least, you have the possibility to use XSLT extension points to customize the predefined structure of the HTML pages generated in the WebHelp Responsive output.
You can see an example of using XSLT extension points HERE.

I hope these tips help.

Best Regards,
Costin
