RE: [cdt-dev] How to get online help for my C API functions

Norbert,

To use help documentation extension you need to do two things:

1) Prepare documentation itself with description for each keyword in
your library.
2) Write help provider contributing to extension point
org.eclipse.cdt.ui.CHelpProvider.
This help provider should search for description in your documentation
according to requested keyword.

See documentation in bugzilla entry 71240 for more information.

Regards,
Mikhail.

The extension is :
  <extension point="org.eclipse.cdt.ui.CHelpProvider">
      <provider
         class="..."
         id=".."/>
   </extension>

The class must implement ICHelpProvider.
