What's New in Oxygen XML Webhelp 25.1
Related version: 25.0
Oxygen XML WebHelp version 25.1 is a minor release for the modern XML publishing system that is used to produce stylish WebHelp output from DITA or DocBook source content.
This release added a new parameter for excluding topic IDs from context-sensitive help, a new parameter to disable the generation of index terms, a new extension point to help you fine-tune the XSLT transformation that generates the mapping for context-sensitive help, and the JQuery library that comes bundled with WebHelp is now accessible in the browser's global context enabling developers to use it. This release also includes various bug fixes and security enhancements.
Core
Exclude Topic IDs from Context-Sensitive Help
Oxygen WebHelp's context-sensitive help relies on a mapping between an ID and the
path of the HTML output page. The value of this ID is computed from the
resourceid element or from the topicid element (as a
fallback if the resourceid is missing). A new parameter
(webhelp.csh.disable.topicID.fallback) allows you to change this
behavior and instruct the WebHelp transformation to only use the value found in the
resourceid element.
Fine-Tune Context-Sensitive Help Mapping
The new extension point com.oxygenxml.webhelp.xsl.contextHelpMap
allows you to add custom XSLT code to modify the XSLT transformation that generates the
mapping between an ID and the path of an HTML output page used for context sensitive
help.
Disable Index Terms
webhelp.show.indexterms.link parameter can be used to
disable the generation of index terms. If set to false, index terms are
not generated and the index terms page is not available in the output.
