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).
