- from Welcome view, hit Workbench User Guide - it comes up, but nothing interesting is shown - likewise for Java Development User Guide NOTES: RG (6/5/01 2:51:27 PM) The current help api does not allow us to request anything finer than an info set. We have requested better api. KH (9/19/2001 2:30:17 PM) Pls adise when/if better API is available.
PRODUCT VERSION: 118
As of next nightly build (20020417) there should be support for a <toc> (like the Workbench User Guide) to have an optional attribute "topic" that is the location of the description topic for the TOC. <toc label="Workbench User Guide" topic="path/to/descriptionTopic.html"> .... </toc> There is also (in the current builds) support for opening a TOC to a specific topic IHelp.displayHelpResource("toc=/pluginid/toc.xml&topic=/pluginid/topic.html") Preferably, you would just use the first option, i.e. make sure the TOC has a topic attribute and just call IHelp.displayHelpResource("/pluginid/toc.xml"), where toc.xml is the help contribution file for the desired TOC. For Workbench User Guide this will be: displayHelpResource("/org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/toc.xml") and toc.xml would be .... <toc label="Workbench User Guide" topic="define/some/topic/here.html"> <topic label="Getting Started"> <link toc="topics_GettingStarted.xml" /> </topic> ..... </toc>
