USING ROBOHELP HTML 10 323 Generating output Optimize Speed For Select the option by which most users access Help. XML formats reduce load times by downloading only the data immediately needed. For example, the Contents pane fills quickly by initially downloading only enough data to fill the pane. The rest is downloaded in time for the user to move down the list. • Web Site (Internet) Select if access is from a website. Assumes slower connections, uses data in smaller pieces, and requires more WebHelp files. • Local PC or Intranet (Internal Network) Select if access is from an intranet or a local computer. Assumes faster connection, uses data in larger pieces, and requires fewer WebHelp files. Preferred Format Specify how WebHelp handles Dynamic HTML (DHTML) and how end users access Help. The option you choose depends on user environment, such as the types of browsers and firewalls used. • DHTML > Pure HTML Uses Dynamic HTML when supported, pure HTML otherwise. If users have firewalls that block Java applets, select DHTML > Pure HTML, which eliminates Java applets from Help. • Pure HTML Displays Help using list-based, pure HTML in all browsers. However, Pure HTML reduces navigation functions. Toolbar Buttons Select navigation toolbar buttons to appear in the left pane. Synchronize Table Of Contents Synchronize the TOC with the topic in the right pane so that users see where they are in the structure. • To synchronize the TOC automatically, click the pop-up menu and select Automatically. • To add a button that users can click to synchronize the TOC, click the pop-up menu and select Manually. Note: If you use custom skins, provide a button icon in the WebHelp Skin Editor. Add Breadcrumbs Links Select to add breadcrumbs in the topic pages. Format Click to change the format of breadcrumbs.
