Add Help For Your Plugin

It is highly recommended that you use the help sample provided in the directory \SDK\source (help.html file). You may edit this with notepad or Netscape Composer 3.x or 4.x.

To integrate your help file in Hackman you have two alternatives. Create a new submenu or use (recommended) the existing submenu Help|PlugIn Help. The second alternative will help the user find resources for your plugin faster.

HereÆs a sample script line to integrate help .html file in HackmanÆs PlugIn help menu:

extra=yes

This will execute <plugin name>.html which must be in \help\helpb2 directory when the &My plugin help file menu is clicked from main Help menu.

Note: the html file will open with the default browser.
