Hello,

Hi, I’m been trying to figure out how to add a “favicon” to the webhelp output from XMLmind with docbook 5.1 assembly as source.

The only workaround I found was to add a 16x16 favicon.ico to the root folder of the IIS site we use, then the browsers pick up the icon and displays it in the tabs. But we would like to have a larger, more scalable png file since high resolution screens and modern browsers can display favicons that have higher resolution.

Is there a way to achieve this? The “header/footer” system only takes the “body” of the html file as input, so it cannot be used. There should be a way to insert an html line in the <head> section of the html output so that something like this can be added: <link rel="icon" type="image/ png" href="/images/favicon.png"/>

For now, the only way to achieve this is to modify by hand the HTML template used by XMLmind Web Help Compiler (whc, http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/whc.shtml):

XXE_install_dir/addon/config/common/whc/whc_template/
  classic.html
  corporate.html
  simple.html

However we have nothing against making this feature a whc option. Something like:

-p favicon file_path_or_URL

(The favicon file would then be copied somewhere in  output_directory/_wh/).

No promises but we'll see what we can do.
