RE: [docbook-apps] Web-based help from Docbook

>> applethelp.xsl creates Web-based help that does not include a full text 
search function
That's my understanding too. As yet I've not found any method of supplying 
a Search facility without resorting to either building one manually or 
using a 3rd party interface such as Acrobat, HTML Help or Eclipse. I've 
had success in the past creating a FTS using proprietory tools that 
provide javascript interfaces in the browser.

>>I did not find the applethelp format to be suitable but only because it 
does not include a search function.
I'm surprised not to have found any open source tools for creating a FTS. 
With such a tool as an extra step and some XSL customisations to add the 
interface, we would be cooking with gas...

<aside>Actually , thinking about it further, if you have access rights to 
setup the Eclipse InfoCenter system on your web server, you could 
configure that to work in a browser with TOC, Index and Search... it's a 
very nice tool.</aside>
