General Remark

This helpsystem should provide a useful guide to the help authoring tool JHelpDev. It is based on JavaHelp^TM 2.0. Any comments are more than welcome, including error statements. Please contact the project under jhelpdev.sourceforge.net in this case.

Although the information you find here may be sufficient to create a full featured help system, you should always refer to the JavaHelp^TM User Guide and the API documentation for a comprehensive description of all features.

How to use this Help

The navigator bar on the left provides a table of contents, an index and a full text search engine.

• Use the table of contents if you use JHelpDev for the first time and want to get an overview of its features as well as to get familar with carrying out basic tasks. The table of contents is in a logical order.
• Use the index, if you search for a task that can be described with a certain keyword. Hopefully the index contains the word and takes you quickly to the underlying helpfile. It is in alphabetical order.
• Use the full text search engine, if you were not successful with the index. The results of the search are ranked after the number of matches into 5 categories.
