I originally posted this questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] That's a
very low volume list. So I posted the question to users@ and someone there
suggested I post my question here.

I would like to use Writer to generate context sensitive help
documentation for a web application.

What I would like to do is "tag" sections of the document with unique
codes that I can then use to build an index. These tags would be included
in an HTML export and then referenced from a web app.

It seems like this would be something that has already been done, but I
did quite a bit of searching and haven't found anything.

I figure I could modify the XSLT export to HTML examples to include these
codes as <a name="FOOBAR"> tags. I could then write a little indexing
script that would map which HTML documentation file contains which code.

>From there it's simple to do a lookup from the webapp, load the right help
page and jump down to the code.

What should I use to tag sections? I thought about using the comment
feature or maybe a custom style is the right answer?

If I were to use OO comments in the Writer doc for my tags how do I
reference them from the XSLT?

I've found this XSLT info: http://books.evc-cit.info/apb.php
Are there any other documents I should be looking at?

Any pointers in the roughly right direction would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks,

-- Yermo
