Publishing > Configuring Your Output

The appearance and functionality of eBooks output is controlled by the settings in the following two locations:

•	Configuration > Publishing Options > eBooks

•	Configuration > HTML Page Templates

In addition to this the HTML Export Options settings in the Publishing Options Settings for Webhelp are also used for eBooks as well as for all other HTML-based output formats.

Visual Appearance:

The only really important option here is Viewer template, which selects the "skin" that controls the entire appearance of the eBook viewer, including whether or not it has a Table of Contents pane. These skin templates are not user-editable – just try them out and see which one you prefer.

Functionality and Style:

These options configure some of the functions of the eBook viewer, including the language of the user interface and whether the viewer has a keyword index and a full-text search function. You can also activate some practical security features, including copy protection for CD-ROMs.

This section provides access to the HTML templates used in all HTML-based output formats. These templates define the layout of the HTML pages into which the text from your topics is inserted.

Editing HTML templates directly requires experience with editing HTML code. If you are just getting started with Help & Manual it is recommended that you only use the Simple Template Layout tab. This allows you to use the default template while you are getting used to using the program.

For full details on all the settings in this section see Topic Pages in the HTML Help section of the Project Configuration chapter.

For information on using and editing HTML templates see the Templates and Secondary Windows and Using HTML Templates chapters in the Reference section.
