Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] webhelp.xsl customizations
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
So the xsls in svn has an empty template called
user.webhelp.head.content that is called at the end of
user.head.content which will help when you only want to add stuff to
<head>. There's also a user.webhelp.content.footer and a
user.webhelp.navheader.content (thanks to Jirka for adding those):
<!-- This is for the USERS. Users who want to customize webhelp
may over-ride this template to add content to <head>. -->
<xsl:template name="user.webhelp.head.content"/>
<!-- This is for the USERS. Users who want to customize webhelp
may over-ride this template to add content to the footer of the
content DIV.
i.e. within <div id="content"> ... </div> -->
<xsl:template name="user.webhelp.content.footer"/>
<xsl:template name="user.webhelp.navheader.content"/>
I'll add a note to the documentation about that feature.
It sounds like there's also a need for a $webhelp.jquery.theme.path
param so you can easily switch between themes.
Let me know if there are other things that need to be made easier to
customize. Webhelp is itself a customization layer, so it uses the
normal customization features of the DocBook xsls. It's also different
in that it includes a build script, and css, js, and image files. All
of which are candidates for customization as well.
Thanks,
David

Is there any way to parametrize *that* (i.e. within a template)?
