Hi,
I submit a patch from Github:
https://github.com/apache/openoffice/commit/27c0241d4ef1b2cd62c0327e22f48381ff0ce40f.patch
Is it possible to commit in 4.1.6?

Do we have documentation anywhere on how to Create/Update the AOO help

Hi Keith,

So far I (and likely some others) only "patched" the source. Basically
it is HTML 3.2.

But we have some code in source:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/trunk/main/helpcontent2/helpers/
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/trunk/main/helpauthoring/

Regards,

   Matthias

Well, IBM Legal just pulled the Apache License:

https://github.com/IBM/plex/issues/190#issuecomment-414718805

Still it is a nice font and I like the idea of creating an extension.

Thanks for the link, but most of those do not describe the process in
any kind of detail. What I need is a process document that explains the
process in detail along with links to any tools needed.

Hi. I built and have opened and checked out the existing AOO Help. So far,
so good. This is on my CentOS 6.10 system with the old gstreamer so I did
not enable that option. I need to investigate the build output and will
report on any problems in a few days.

The old definitive guide -- specification, etc. -- can be found from this
area:
http://www.openoffice.org/documentation/online_help/index.html

Since I have added help files I will say that the process is NOT easy.
Mostly because nearly ALL paragraphs are tagged with ids, and you must
"create" these ids yourself. There was once a tool to use within AOO that
was supposed to help but I never got this to work for me. The structure is
difficult and seems somewhat arbitrary to me.

The idea to port the internal Help to a different system/architecture was
brought up almost at the outset of bringing AOO into the ASF but no one
volunteered to do this.

Anyway, good luck. I will try to be of help if I can. But, it's been a
while ...

 Do we have documentation anywhere on how to Create/Update the AOO
 help
 files?

Thanks Kay. I had stumbled across that PDF while exploring some of the
other links. I will study it over the next few days and see if I can
figure it out.
I was reviewing some of the threads on re dev@ around options for
redoing the help system. I would be nice to see a more straight forward
system. I just don't have the background to do it.

Keith

Re: xmlhelp ported to gbuild

[Damjan Jovanovic]

That's good news, thank you.

Significant further changes will be coming, with the ability to run
cppumaker-based UNO IDL generation from gbuild that I am now developing,
which was a barrier to porting at least 7 more dmake modules.

Re: Open Office 4.1.5 toolbar icon

[Peter kovacs]

This is not a PMC issue.
Looping in Dev list.

Maybe in fisheye (don't have the link at hand) the history can be looked up?
