OSSO Help Plugin

About

Help system for Maemo is implemented using OSSO Help framework. Such approach requires that all help files (system help, help for applications) must conform to the special XML-based format.

OSSO Maemo Help plugin for Serna XML editor allows to create help files and documentation for Maemo and Maemo applications just in few clicks. There is no need anymore to keep in mind all XML tags and structure of the document – XML editor will lead an author in the right way.

Known limitations

  • Not correctly show images (excluding relatively located image files)

    Because in most cases paths to the images must be absolute – currently no way to make path rewrite.

  • No hyperlink navigation

    This can be done using commercial Serna API only. This question must be researched.

  • Possibly incorrect document structure

    Because OSSO Help format is not documented well, all plugin schema files were written from the scratch – might have conflicts with osso-help-browser implementation.
