Re: [platform-help-dev] extradir(s)?
|
Christal,
There is only one "extradir" attribute per TOC, and it can contain name of
one directory only. It requires minimal effort from the documentation team
to cause extra directory to be indexed, but does not prevent more complex
scenarios to be accomplished.
Help includes documents from extradir and all subdirectories in search.
You can take advantage of it and specify extradir="RM", which will cause
both RM/IRSGuid and RM/IRSMenu directories to be indexed and searchable.
Another, even more flexible, solution is to specify additional TOCs in your
plugin.xml. These TOCs do not need to contain any topics to include in the
navigation.
You can add a line
<toc file="IRSMenuFiles.xml" extradir="RM/IRSMenu" />
in your plugin.xml, and create a file IRSMenuFiles.xml that will contain
only link to your existing TOC:
<toc label="IRSMenu Files" link_to="topics_apiRef.xml" ></toc>
You basically can link the TOC with extradir attached like any other TOC.

Please respond to
platform-help-dev
I'm prototyping with the new 'extradir' feature now (see Eclipse defect
#10088 for adding topics to search that aren't linked into the TOC). I have
it working for one extra directory, but is it possible to include more than
one extra directory for this purpose? If so, what is the syntax?
I have tried these alternatives, but neither works:
<toc file="topics_apiRef.xml" extradir="RM/IRSGuid RM/IRSMenu" />
(Second entry not processed)
<toc file="topics_apiRef.xml" extradir="RM/IRSGuid"
extradir="RM/IRSMenu" /> (XML fails)
Thanks,
Christal
