Re: [platform-doc-dev] Conditional help text in Eclipse 3.2

Michael,

Can you redirect this discussion to platform-ua-dev mailing list? The
questions you have are related to the capability provided by the User
Assistance component. I have forwarded this posting to Curtis from the UA
team. Note that plarform-help-dev is now defunct in favor of
platform-ua-dev.

I understand that in the 3.2 documentation, text can be conditionalized
as described here:
http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/platform-ua/proposals/xhtml/HelpDynamicContent.html


The valid values are:
For ws: win32 motif gtk photon carbon unknown
For os: win32 linux aix solaris hpux qnx macosx unknown

My question is, what is the markup that allows text to appear on
http://help.eclipse.org/help31/index.jsp pages? I'm assuming that it is
the "unknown" setting, but I would like to have that confirmed.

Example:
========

<h2>Context-sensitive help</h2>

<p>If you are working through a task and encounter part of the interface
that you do not understand, use context-sensitive help.

<!-- For eclipse.org -->
<span filter="os=unknown">
Bring focus to the interface widget in question by clicking on it
or using the Tab key
and then press
F1 (Ctrl+F1 on GTK+ or Help key on Carbon).
</span>

<!-- For Windows -->
<span filter="ws=win32">
Bring focus to the interface widget in question by clicking on it
(or using the Tab key)
and then press F1.
</span>

<!-- For Linux GTK -->
<span filter="ws=gtk">
Bring focus to the interface widget in question by clicking on it
and then press Ctrl+F1.
</span>

<!-- For Macs -->
<span filter="ws=carbon">
Bring focus to the interface widget in question by clicking on it
and then press the Help key.
</span>

</p>
