The Layout template for WebHelp |
|
The layout template is the source code of the main index.html file for your WebHelp. It defines the traditional frames (Classic layout options) or modern iFrames (Integrated option) into which the topic and navigation pages are loaded. Basically it only provides the external framework and tells the browser which files to load into which frames. This means that you should not normally have any reason to edit it.
If you choose the No Frames option this template is not used at all. Then, the table of contents page is used as the main index.html file.
This template is highly specialized and should only be edited if you have advanced HTML editing skills. It is essential for the proper functioning of the entire navigation system in WebHelp and editing errors you make here can easily make your help unusable.
See Editing HTML templates for details on how to edit templates and Script and CSS components for experts for more details on the content of the template.
If you are publishing with a skin you must edit the templates in the skin, not in your project! Skins always replace all the HTML templates in your project. Changes made in HTML templates your project will not be reflected in your output when you use skins! |
