    • A path to a file that contains well-formed XHTML content.
    <publishing-template>
        ...
        <webhelp>
            ...                
            <parameters>
                <parameter name="webhelp.fragment.welcome" value="c:\myMessage.xhtml"/>
            </parameters>
    </webhelp>
