Publishing to Web Help

Author-it includes new Web Help templates for publishing your online content with a modern look and feel.

The Web Help output publishes content to HTML but moves away from the standard HTML templates in the following ways:

• Uses JavaScript libraries created by EXTJS.
• Publishes the Table of Contents (TOC) as a JSON file (toc.json).
• Assembles pages using client side JavaScript rather than using a frameset.
• Implements breadcrumb navigation in the header area, and moves common functions to the header area (next and previous pages, email link, send feedback, and print page).
• Enables different icons to be used in the contents pane to identify topic types. (Icons are specified in the topic template.)
• Uses the Web Help Publishing Profile to swap the default media objects to the Web Help media objects.
• Provides an 'edit this topic' button allowing end users who have Author-it installed to open the relevant topic within their library (for users with permissions to access the library).
• Uses a webhelp.css file to control formatting and overwrite some styles used by other online outputs.
