Okay folks, at this point I'm giving up and asking for help. Apologies if those questions were asked dozen times before, it is my first time on this list.
In the context of TDF tender work regarding generating screenshots for documentation, I'm trying to embed some images ( = screenshots we've created ) into couple of .xhp files. I've installed HelpAuthoring extension, but obviously I'm too nerdy to use any GUI tool for anything ;-) 1. Every time I do even a simple edit (such as, adding a word) to an .xhp file with Writer + HelpAuthoring extension, saving messes up the file so badly that it longer displays. I see either blank help page or default help index landing page. A quick 'git diff' shows lots of whitespace changes, but maybe there is something else, too What am I doing wrong? Is there something special I need to do before I save the file? (such as, don't 'Save', but 'Save As' and choose .xhp filter) Is there some minimum version of Libreoffice needed for this extension to work reliably? 2. Of course, I'd be the most productive, if I didn't have to use any GUI tool and if I could simply edit those .xhp files in a text editor (that doesn't mess up) But to insert a paragraph or an image, I understand those need to have some unique ids. Where do I get those? Is there a way to generate them outside HelpAuthoring extension? 3. Is there some simple and effective way how to preview the file I've just edited? I don't consider 'make helpcontent2 && instdir/program/soffice' and then navigating to the given help page effective enough -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
