[Zope3-dev] Questions about onlinehelp

[Peter Koppatz]

Hello All,

I have created some helppages for my application and want to connect 
this helppages to the online helpsystem of zope 3.

1.

I do that with:

   <configure zcml:condition="have onlinehelp">

     <help:register
	id="dictum"
	title="My first application"
	doc_path="./help/package_intro.rst"
	class="zope.app.onlinehelp.onlinehelptopic.RESTOnlineHelpTopic"
	/>

   <help:register
       id="app.version01"
       parent="dictum"
       title="Version I"
       doc_path="./help/version01/content.rst"
       class="zope.app.onlinehelp.onlinehelptopic.RESTOnlineHelpTopic"
       />
   </configure>

That works fine.

If I put the configuration in an extra folder "help" and try to include 
it as a package:

<include package=".help" />

I got the message:

NameError: name 'helpsystem' is not defined

What is the missing piece?

2. The content of the online-help says:

The Online Help supports

     * plain text documents
     * structured text documents
     * restructured text documents
     * HTML documents
     * Page template based content

but HTML and ZPT's are rendered as resturctured text, so there is a 
difference between reality and online help.
Will that be changing in the future?

3. Ok, I am using resturctured text, but I can't use all german 
characters. How can I configure other encodings for the online help?

Regards,
Peter
