I will study it over the next few days and see if I can figure it out. I was reviewing some of the threads on re dev@ around options for redoing the help system. I would be nice to see a more straight forward system. I just don't have the background to do it. Regards Keith signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Mostly because nearly ALL paragraphs are tagged with ids, and you must "create" these ids yourself. There was once a tool to use within AOO that was supposed to help but I never got this to work for me. The structure is difficult and seems somewhat arbitrary to me. The idea to port the internal Help to a different system/architecture was brought up almost at the outset of bringing AOO into the ASF but no one volunteered to do this. Anyway, good luck. I will try to be of help if I can. But, it's been a while ... -- -- MzK "Less is MORE."

Re: Creating and Updating the Help Files
Hi Keith, So far I (and likely some others) only "patched" the source. Basically it is HTML 3.2. But we have some code in source: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/trunk/main/helpcontent2/helpers/ http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/trunk/main/helpauthoring/ Regards, Matthias Am 21.08.2018 um 17:56 schrieb Keith N.
