Eclipse Help as a Model

Blog entry: Submitted by tself on Mon, 2008-01-14 13:04.

In thinking about what a standalone (as in "not embedded UA") Help system generated from DITA source should look like, and what features it might have, Eclipse Help keeps cropping up. If a tech writer currently wants to generate an Eclipse Help system for distribution with a locally-installed application, the technical hurdles are quite high. It might not be an issue if the application is Eclipse-based, but it otherwise requires quite some overhead.

Glossary in DITA

Forum topic: Submitted by Radha on Mon, 2008-01-14 09:52. Last updated on Mon, 2008-01-14 10:22.

Hello All,

When I add the glossary and generate a PDF of the BookMap, the glossary term and definition does not appear distinctly. They appear similar to the rest of the content in the document.

Further, if a glossary term has more than one definition, how can we add this to the glossary topic? Should we create separate glossary topics for each such definition?

Can anyone suggest a different way of adding glossary to the BookMap or advise what I could do to rectify this issue?

Regards
