21.1 Understanding how Eclipse
Help works
Eclipse Help for the Eclipse Platform is based on
an XML table of contents that specifies the structure of the Help system
and references content in standard XHTML files. An Eclipse Help plug-in
minimally consists of a plug-in manifest file, plugin.xml, and a TOC (table
of contents) file, toc.xml. The manifest provides
information about the plug-in, such as name, ID, and version number.
The TOC file is registered with the Eclipse Platform, using the org.eclipse.help.toc extension
point.
DITA2Go supports the core functionality of
Eclipse Help, including the following:
- generation of primary and secondary
TOCs
- indexing (for later versions
of Eclipse)
- infopops: the Eclipse version
of CSH (Context-Sensitive Help).
