I am sorry, I did not explain properly what I did in my previous post. I customized the DocBook5 configuration and would like to attach an additional help file.
In my customized xxe configuration file I added the "help" element pointing to proper location of a help file which has the structure you described. After restarting XXE/reloading configuration the new help file is not accesible from XXE nor the online help itself as a whole when I press F1 or use the menu (nothing happens). Perhaps I misunderstood the use of the "help" element which can be used only once within a configuration?

The basic idea is that Javahelp .jar files cannot come from nowhere. Such help files should document a working XXE configuration. Let's take the "DITA configuration based on the OASIS DTD" add-on as an example: [1] The add-on contains a configuration file having a name attribute and a <detect> element. --- <configuration name="DITA" xmlns="http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/schema/configuration"; xmlns:cfg="http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/schema/configuration";> <include location="dita_common.incl" /> <detect> <or> <dtdPublicId substring="true">DTD DITA Topic</dtdPublicId> <dtdPublicId substring="true">DTD DITA Concept</dtdPublicId> <dtdPublicId substring="true">DTD DITA Task</dtdPublicId> <dtdPublicId substring="true">DTD DITA Reference</dtdPublicId> <dtdPublicId substring="true">DTD DITA Composite</dtdPublicId> <and> <not><schemaType>schema</schemaType></not> <schemaType xsi:nil="true" /> <rootElementNamespace xsi:nil="true" /> <or> <rootElementLocalName>topic</rootElementLocalName> <rootElementLocalName>concept</rootElementLocalName> <rootElementLocalName>task</rootElementLocalName> <rootElementLocalName>reference</rootElementLocalName> <rootElementLocalName>dita</rootElementLocalName> </or> </and> </or> </detect> --- [2] This configuration file (more precisely "dita_common.incl") contains a help element pointing to a JavaHelp .jar file. --- <help location="dita_help.jar" /> --- [3] "dita_help.jar" contains a HelpSet file called "dita_help/jhelpset.hs". That is, if a help file is called "foo.jar", it must contain a HelpSet called "foo/jhelpset.hs" See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/help.html -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List xmleditor-support at xmlmind.com http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
