HTML Reports as Online Help

[Keith Bollwahn]

 
The HTML reporting output with templates is in the process of changing how I'm developing online user help for our project.  I'm using navigational diagrams in conjuction with modified templates to create 1) Client Design Update Reports for CD-ROM, 2) Online System Documentation, and 3) Online User Documentation - all from our EA development model.  I'm now working with our programmers on integrating HTML reporting from EA as web-based User Help in place of WinHelp or HTMLHelp.  To really make this go, I need help on a couple of things.

1.  I would like an easy way to generate the HTML report without the table of contents frame set. That is, just the default diagram as the 'index.htm' page. (For now, I'm working around this by creating a shortcut to the appropriate page in the generated report.)  That way the application programmers have a set page to link to when calling online help.

2.  This one might be a bit tougher. - Is there a way to predict where ( folder \ sub-folder \ filename.htm ) the html page for a given object in EA will be generated in the HTML report?  If there is, it will allow the programmers and me to generate an EA HTML report as context sensitive online help.

Keep up the great work - this tool just keeps getting better and better!
