webhelp footer: args.ftr or webhelp.footer.file

[scotmarvin]

The Oxygen help isn't clear to me. Can you elaborate on the difference between the webhelp parameters args.ftr and webhelp.footer.file?

Thank you,

Hello,

The args.ftr parameter is an older built-in DITA-OT parameter that is used mainly with the DITA XHTML transformation, DITA Eclipse Help and DITA JavaHelp ones. It can add a custom footer in a different location (a parent div element) than the webhelp.footer.file parameter. I recommend the webhelp.footer.file parameter for the DITA Webhelp family of transformations (Webhelp desktop, Webhelp with user feedback, Webhelp - Mobile).

Disregard.
I resolved it.
I fixed a bad footer file. The footer file somehow interfered search result display... I don't know why.
