Hi, Hussein:
Good news! Everything is working great, except for the
"header_footer_files" parameter. I added that parameter to the
Document Conversion Parameters list. But when I generate the
webhelp, I hit this error:
Invoking method
"com.xmlmind.xmleditext.whc.CompileWebHelp.compile"
with arguments
"docb.toWebHelp"
"file:/C:/Users/Pierce/Documents/private-docs/xtcommission/wh_resources/header_footer_files",
invalid value for parameter "user-resources"
To get past it, I removed the "header_footer_files" parameter. But I
would like to add it back so I can include a logo and gradient in
the header, per your example. I tried creating an absolute path to
each of the files inside that directory, also--but hit a similar error.
Speaking of absolute paths: Since I manage multiple different
technical guides, it would be helpful if I could add a variable to
the absolute path value for the header/footer parameters I'm using
now. All my books now have a "wh_resources" directory in the home
directory. But since each home directory has a different absolute
path, without a variable I have to update the parameter paths each
time I generate webhelp for a book.
Example absolute path I'm using:
file:/C:/Users/Pierce/Documents/xtupledocs/referenceguide/wh_resources/header_footer.css
Is there something like the following (or similar) I can use?
%/wh_resources/header_footer.css
Many thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Pierce

1. I'm not sure where to place the files: header.html,
footer.html and
header_footer.css. Do I put these into
'xxe-config:docbook/xsl/webhelp/'
or 'xxe-config:docbook/xsl/webhelp/wh_resources/' or some other
location?
You must create all these files:
* in a directory of your own, typically nearby the source of your
documentation,
* NOT in "xxe-config:docbook/xsl/webhelp/" (which may be
overwritten the next time you'll upgrade XXE.)
2. Also, the XHTML file you mentioned below, does that file already
exist? Or do I need to create it--and if so, where does it go?
You need to create your own versions of header.html, footer.html and
header_footer.css. Of course, you can give these files different
names because these files are all yours.
You may want to download the DocBook source of XMLmind XML Editor
help from the following location.

This archive contains our own header.html, footer.html and
header_footer.css files. It also contains a makefile which shows
you how such files are passed as parameters to the XSLT stylesheets.
