Re: Tutorial: Customizing XMetaL WebHelp

[cnaveen]

Hello,

I can't find “Webhelp” as the output format in the Deliverable type list. I tried to add it using Add button, but its not listed in the Add list.

Can anyone tell me how to add the Webhelp output format?

You do not need to add WebHelp and it is visible in the list of deliverables by default (some lesser-used formats are hidden).

Perhaps you have an older version of XMetaL Author Enterprise that did not include WebHelp?

Thanks for your response!

I am using Xmetal 5.1. Is there any alternative method to add Webhelp as the output format and customize the output?

The WebHelp plug-in was designed to work with 5.5 and up.

If you don't want to move to a newer version (we've released 7.0 so your version is technically unsupported now) you could use the “Multiple HTML files” output and then build your own framework around it.
