If software allows users to supply custom UI terms at any time, how can I make the Help get UI terms pulled from the software's database?
I am using Xmetal Author 7.0 Enterpise and authoring software Help in DITA. Should the software install DITA as the source for help, then build a customized HTML output on customer's PC?

Has anyone heard of creating a customization to generate XHTML output that contains scripts and “includes” to pull UI terms from a list of terms supplied from a database?
