Hi,

I added two tools to the "helpers" directory
of the helpcontent2 CVS module (this is where the
online help source files reside):

1. Script to create a list of all help files

helpcontent2/helpers/helpdebug contains a Perl
script "allfiles.pl" that produces a list of
all help files in the module. The output is
in *.tree format used by the contents tab of the
help viewer.

Usage:
- Run allfiles.pl and send output to file
  (extension .tree is mandatory so the
  help viewer finds it)
- Copy the file into the help/$language directory
  of your OOo installation
- Restart OOo
- When starting the help you will have a hierarchical
  view of all help files as present in the file system
  Should be useful for debugging to make sure
  to not miss a file

2. Script to create HTML help

helpcontent2/helpers/htmlhelp contains a Perl
script and some auxiliary files to create a HTML
file set from the help files. The script resolves all
embedded content and links so that the resulting
set can be viewed in any browser. Note: you must have
access to the CVS image module "default_images", too.

Both scripts are "quick hacks". Everyone may feel free
to contribute enhancements. The resulting HTML files
show some flaws here and there.

The changes were submitted top level to the main trunc
and are available from the cvs server through

cvs co documentation/helpcontent2
or via
http://documentation.openoffice.org/source/browse/documentation/helpcontent2/

Feedback welcome
Frank
