RE: [docbook-apps] WebWorks Help Output

Hi Eric,

another option is to adapt tocjsbis plugin for DITA which outputs html frames with javascript navigation tree based on YUI library. 

Actually, the word "adapt" is used very loosely. This whole thing assumes little more XSLT coding and building quite elaborate customization layer but you do not have to reinvent the wheel as the DITA plugin gives you clear idea how this all works no matter what XML documentation vocabulary you may use.

You can also employ custom library written by N. Quaine (author of the plugin) for synchronizing nodes in the javascript tree with page displayed. It is part of the plugin.

Subject: [docbook-apps] WebWorks Help Output

Are there any tools that support generating WebWorks help from DocBook? 
It seems that WebWorks does not, it currently supports DITA exclusively.

Our team here is looking to move from FrameMaker to an XML format and it 
looks like DocBook is a much better mapping for the style of content we 
produce, but a number of our product use WebWorks. or MadCap Flare, to 
generate help systems. This seems to be a major sticking point.

I personally find that DITA is overly restrictive and geared towards 
making bad writers less bad, so I would be less than thrilled to be 
forced into using it because of a lack of commercial tool support.
