Context sensitive help, also known as "pop-up" help, will allow
|
||
a user to obtain help information about specific buttons or
|
||
parts of an application.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
Context sensitive help is still under development and not all
|
||
the details are available at this time. However, the basics can
|
||
be shown here so that you can understand how the system will
|
||
work.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
The Context Sensitive Help system is designed to allow the
|
||
developer to give an id to a particular portion of the User
|
||
Interface, for example, a button. Once the interface is complete
|
||
a Perl script can then be run against the interface code to
|
||
create a "map" file. This map file allows the developer or
|
||
writer to associate particular paragraph sections from an XML
|
||
document to the interface items.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
The XML used for the document is a small XML DTD that is being
|
||
developed to use the same tags (albeit, much fewer) as DocBook
|
||
so that writers do not have to re-learn a new DTD.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
Once the document is written and map file is complete, when the
|
||
user launches context sensitive help on the interface (either by
|
||
pressing a button and then clicking on the interface item they
|
||
want information on, or by right mouse clicking on the interface
|
||
item and selecting a pop-up menu item like "What's This") a
|
||
small transient window will appear with brief but detailed
|
||
information on the interface item.
