Can anyone point me to an in depth discussion and/or book on how css [for the help files] works in eclispe? I don't mean the css technology, I mean how the style sheets are packaged and why there is so much indirection. I still haven't been able to locate the actual css file that comes with the help plugin. I see a
book.css stylesheet but when I open it, there is one line: @import "../PRODUCT_PLUGIN/book.css"; and since there is no "product_plugin" directory...(or any comment for that matter explaining how this line is resolved) I have to assume this is a pointer to some other directory-- but how is it resolved and where do I find the css for each platform and more to the point, how can I change it? Clearly it's getting the styles from somewhere.
When I did a search on my eclispse installation, I noticed a number of css files (some zipped, others not; a narrow-book.css, etc.) In any event, it would be enormously helpful to know how the eclipse helpdoc backend works.
I know about setting up the toc.xml and the html files, etc. What I'm having the most trouble with is understanding how the CSS is resolved for all the platforms.
Thanks!
