Helpcontent displayed in a browser
==================================

This directory contains files needed to convert the XHP files to html, and
also the html and css files needed for the actual rendering in the web
browser.

Building and translation of the XHP files is now integrated into the
LibreOffice build process based on gbuild.  If you want to use it, configure
LibreOffice with one of the:

  --with-help=html   (for the local html files)
  --with-help=online (for the html files that can be uploaded to a webserver)

Using the online version
------------------------

When you have configured with --with-help=online, the result of the build is
in

  instdir/help

You want to upload to your webserver like:

  rsync -avz instdir/help/ username@webserver:/srv/www/htdocs/

Then you also need to setup a link 'latest' on the server, like

  ln -s 6.1 latest

and make sure that symlinks are allowed in the webserver configuration.
