By replacing some special content of the template on software interface, doc2help can meet different styles of document requirement.
Doc2help created document can display tree menu, which is similar to document map. Show level is equivalent to the function of show headings in document map. Please refer to the following two figures. The left figure is the function of show headings in word document map, and the right one shows what doc2help generated. Show level equals to zero is similiar as show all headings in word.
If users choose to display Related Topic, the sub-level headings will be listed in the bottom of the document page. Characters in edit box are the displayed prompt text, as the following figure shows.
.
If choose to show cover, the converted file will display the contents before the first level index of word document. If do not choose to show cover, doc2help will hide this part of content.
If choose to show Numbering, doc2help will automatically add number in tree menu, which is similar to item number in word. Please refer to the following two figures for this function. The left figure shows the numbering, while the right one does not show.
Doc2help converted html file canhave CHM style navigation menu or normal navigation menu.. If creating CHM style menu, it can support full text search and bookmarks function. Please refer to the following figures. The left one is the CHM style navigation menu, and the right one is common format.
In CHM style, Menu means navigation menu. Other items as bellow:
Index: List all the menu by name for easily search. After inputting key words, it will automatically highlight all the menu items that matched.
Search: Doc2help created document supports full text search. Input key words and doc2help can quickly locate relevant pages which contain the searched words. The searched key words will by highlighted in yellow.
Bookmark: In a large document, once users are interested in some pages, you can go to the bookmark label and click add button. Thus current browser page will be added into bookmarks. Next time if the document is browsed again in the same computer, user added pages will display in bookmark.
In order to improve the accuracy of full text search in CHM style, doc2help provides dictionary to support Chinese word segmentation.
If users do not apply dictionary, software will use single word segmentation method. After practice we found that, the accuracy of single word segmentation is also very good, while only some un-relevant contents will be searched.
Attention:
If both the dictionary and word file are large, the time-consuming of applying dictionary and creating document will be long. Under the computer’s configuration as Centrino 1.86G CPU and 1G Memory, using dictionary with 300,000 entries to convert a word document with 60,000 Chinese words, it will cost about 3 minutes.
Word segmentation is invalid for pure English document. English words will directly be segmented by single word and will not need dictionary.
Configure the first page title of created document.
Configure the bottom information such as copyright or other needed information. It should be a string. Unless “Enter” will automatically converted to <br>, doc2help will not support other automatically conversion of HTML code. If users need other HTML format words, please directly input as HTML format. For example, <a href="#">younghua.com</a>.
According to word chapter setting, doc2help will divide one large document into multiple smaller sub-documents. The default naming of sub-documents is set by chapter numbers. For example, _1.htm means the content of chapter 1; _2_1.htm means the content of chapter2.1.
While in some cases, such as when users need to publish help link, some sub-documents’ names need to be fixed. Doc2help can provide file name setting function to set some fixed customized sub-documents’ names. The advantage is to confirm that when users do some modification or chapter number change in the initial document, the help link published before will not be invalid.
As the above figure shows, each line is for one sub-document.
Left of ‘=’ is the chapter to be replaced. Multiple level chapters will use ‘_’ to separate.
Right of ‘=’ is the file name to be set. If no suffix, doc2help will use default suffix as htm. Otherwise, doc2help will use user-defined suffix.
Click “?” to see detailed description of file name setting.
Attention: File name can only support ASCII Character.
