Tom Burns commented on OFBIZ-4941:
----------------------------------
Jacques,
1. Sorry to confuse you with the term content files. I was only referring to
the Docbook book files under applications/content/data/helpdata/docbookhelp
like accounting_en/accounting.xml. e.g. somecomponent (accounting)
somecomponent.xml (accounting.xml).
2. The docbook folder (\applications\content\template\docbook) is not new to
OFBiz. The files that were replaced all had their origin in the docbook xsl
distribution so I did not expect this to be an issue. Have you seen
http://wiki.docbook.org/DocBookLicense
3. I still do not understand the desire to move to specialpurpose. I will need
clarification of the requirements and desired deployment of the webhelp
artifacts. Will docbook stay in content? Are the "content files" to go to
specialpurpose? Is it being moved there to prepare for Slim Down?
As soon as you release the next patch I'll apply it to a clean trunk for a
smoke test and let you know if I see any issues. The last patch only included
the catalog_en webapp and it did not render correctly.
Cheers,
Tom

> This is a status update just to let anyone who is interested know that this
> item is being worked on.
> I started out using the OFBiz structure for help docs but after a while I
> needed/wanted something more expressive.
> Here is what I wound up using for development:
> Java Help System http://java.net/projects/javahelp/content
> DocBook 5: The Definitive Guide
> http://www.docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/docbook.html
> http://www.docbook.org/xml/5.0/
> DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide
> http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/index.html
>
> http://sourceforge.net/projects/docbook/files/docbook-xsl/1.77.1/docbook-xsl-1.77.1.zip
> Help Master - FE for managing java help files. Best feature drag and drop
> TOC creates TOC matching file folder structure. Convenient launcher for
> viewing & testing. http://www.halogenware.com/software/helpmaster.html
> XML Mind XML Editor - Free Personal Edition is far better then editing in
> Eclipse. download from http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/download.shtml
> Tutorial - DocBook editing with XML Mind XML Editor. Worth going through
> http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/tutorial.html
> Read Me First style guide from Sun (cost from Amazon 1 cent + shipping)
> Attached are some screen shots of the results.
> Every screen is/will be documented in a similar structure. This is as much
> for defining requirements and testing as for help. More work but worth it.
> The screenshots show a Java Help format generated using DocBook XSL. This
> will likely not be the final presentation format.
> Note the Performance Review screen shots do not match the trunk. There is a
> bug in update screen and I did some clean up of labels and drop-down list.
> There are issues like this all through the application so I did not want to
> get bogged down with patches at this time.
