Resourceid appname & appid

Hi,
Are there plans to translate the appname & appid attributes in a <resourceid> to the context-help-map.xml in the webhelp output?
If so will the two attributes be concatenated in the helpID?
e.g. <resourceid appname="application" appid="functionid"/> becomes
<appContext HelpID="application.functionid" path="..."/>
Thanks,
Tristan

Hi,
Yes, we want to update the Context-Sensitive WebHelp system to take care about the new attributes added to the
resourceID element in DITA 1.3 specification.

For the case when both
@appname and
@appid attributes are specified, I think we will adopt the next convention:
Code: Select all
<appContext helpID="functionid" appName="application" path="topics/topic.html"/>
where the @helpID value is taken from
resourceid@appid. So, the information from the
@appname attribute will be transferred in the 'context-help-map.xml' file as it is.

Thanks for the swift reply and considering the update.
I assume the appid will then also be added as a parameter in the url next to the contextid?
Code: Select all
index.html?contextId=functionid?appid=application
Best regards,
Tristan

I suppose that you are referring to the @appname attribute.
Yes, we will update the list of parameters allowed by Context-Sensitive WebHelp system by adding the 'appname' parameter.
So, for you case:
Code: Select all
<appContext helpID="functionid" appName="application" path="topics/topic.html"/>
you will be able to open a WebHelp system showing the page 'topics/topic.html' with the next query:
Code: Select all
index.html?contextId=functionid;appName=application

Hello,
I wanted to let you know that the feature you have requested was implemented in oXygen 18.1 which was released a few weeks ago.
Here is a fragment from the "What is new" section:
Context Sensitive WebHelp was Updated for DITA 1.3
The Context Sensitive WebHelp system was updated to support the new changes from DITA 1.3 specifications. For example, you can now associate a topic with an application by using the @appid and @appname attributes available on the resourceid element.
You can read more in our User Manual:
