Geoff Longman commented on FOR-162: ----------------------------------- seeing as forrest itself now has an Eclipse plugin this feature request should carry some more weight, no? > Add ability to generate Eclipse Help Plug-in compliant sites > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: FOR-162 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-162 > Project: Forrest > Type: New Feature > Components: Plugins (general issues) > Versions: 0.6 > Environment: ALL > Reporter: Geoff Longman > > 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: > http://help.eclipse.org/help21/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/help_plugin_toc.htm > P.S. I left the priority for this issue at it default setting for no > particular reason. > Geoff -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
