Key: FOR-162
Summary: Add ability to generate Eclipse Help Plug-in compliant sites
Type: New Feature
Status: Unassigned
Priority: Major
Project: Forrest
Components:
Plugins (general issues)
Versions:

Environment: ALL
Description:
It would be nice to be able to generate a site that can be embedded into an
Eclipse help plugin.
The criteria would be as such:
1. Generate more compact html. i.e. with less header info. The Eclipse help
center is typically sized small on a user's screen and the less cruft the
better. The workaround decribed in #2 below can get around this with the
current way things are generated, but its kludgey.
2. Generate html that does not contain the menus as Eclipse uses an xml files
called a toc file to generate its own menus. A current workaround is to
generate the site using a modified the forrest-css skin. The css is modified to
hide the menus and compress the header portion of the page. Although you have
to specify a 1px image in skinconf.xml for the mandatory project logo in order
for this to work.
3. Generate an Eclipse toc file that is basically a transformation of the
site.xml.
Note - I have been using forrest fo exactly 1 day so buyer beware.
Reference material:
A link to a page decribing the format of the Eclipse toc file:

P.S. I left the priority for this issue at it default setting for no particular
reason.
