ScrollKeeper
is a cataloging
system for documentation. The Help browser uses ScrollKeeper
to catalog the manuals on the system. ScrollKeeper
manages the information in the OMF files for the Help browser.
ScrollKeeper
uses the information in the
OMF files to enable the Help browser to find Help documents on a system. When
you install an application, the installation process installs an OMF file
to a directory of OMF files.
ScrollKeeper
builds a table of contents for
each Help document that has an associated OMF file. ScrollKeeper
builds the table of contents from the XML file specified in
the OMF file. The table of contents for the Help document is displayed in
the left pane of the Help browser window, and enables users to navigate the
Help document in the left pane. The title of the document in the OMF file
is also displayed in the left pane of the Help browser window.
ScrollKeeper
contains a hierarchy of subject
categories to which a Help document can belong. The Help documents are organized
into this hierarchy of subject categories in the left pane of the Help browser
window. The subject category of the document in the OMF file determines the
location of the document in the hierarchy. The hierarchy of subject categories
is defined in the following file:
/usr/share/scrollkeeper/Templates/C/scrollkeeper_cl.xml
The subject category of a document must correspond to a subject category in the following file:
/usr/share/scrollkeeper/Templates/C/scrollkeeper_cl.xml
If the Help document XML file is moved to a new location, then you might need to update the location in the OMF file.
