WebHelp Classic XSLT-import and XSLT-parameter extension points
The WebHelp XSLT-Import extension points allows you to extend the XSLT stylesheets associated with some of the WebHelp transformation steps. The DITA-OT plug-in installer adds an XSLT import statement in the default WebHelp XSLT so that the XSLT stylesheet referenced by the extension point becomes part of the normal build.
Example:
<plugin id="com.oxygenxml.webhelp.classic.extension">
<feature extension="com.oxygenxml.webhelp.classic.xsl.dita2webhelp"
file="xsl/fixup.xsl"/>
</plugin>
Attention: The customizations you make by using this extension point will affect all
WebHelp transformations. If you want to have a customization that is only available for a
certain transformation, please use the Overriding a WebHelp XSLT
Stylesheet from an Ant Build File method.
XSLT-Import Extension Points
The following extension points are available:
- com.oxygenxml.webhelp.classic.xsl.dita2webhelp
- Extension point to override the XSLT stylesheet (dita2webhelpImpl.xsl) that produces an HTML file for each DITA topic. The path to this stylesheet is: [DITA-OT DIR]\plugins\com.oxygenxml.webhelp.classic\xsl\dita\desktop\dita2webhelpImpl.xsl
- com.oxygenxml.webhelp.classic.xsl.createMainFiles
- Extension point to override the XSLT stylesheet (createMainFilesImpl.xsl) that produces the WebHelp main HTML page (index.html). The path to this stylesheet is: [DITA-OT DIR]\plugins\com.oxygenxml.webhelp.classic\xsl\dita\desktop\createMainFilesImpl.xsl
- com.oxygenxml.webhelp.classic.xsl.createTocXML
- Extension point to override the XSLT stylesheet (tocDita.xsl) that produces the toc.xml file. This file contains information extracted from the DITA map and it is mainly used to construct the WebHelp Table of Contents and navigational links. The path to this stylesheet is: [DITA-OT DIR]\plugins\com.oxygenxml.webhelp.classic\xsl\dita\tocDita.xsl.
XSLT-Parameter Extension Points
If your customization stylesheet declares one or more XSLT parameters and you want to control their values from the transformation scenario, you can use one of the following XSLT parameter extension points:
- com.oxygenxml.webhelp.classic.xsl.dita2webhelp.param
- Use this extension point to pass parameters to the stylesheet specified using the
com.oxygenxml.webhelp.classic.xsl.dita2webhelp
extension point. - com.oxygenxml.webhelp.classic.xsl.createMainFiles.param
- Use this extension point to pass parameters to the stylesheet specified using the
com.oxygenxml.webhelp.classic.xsl.createMainFiles
extension point. - com.oxygenxml.webhelp.classic.xsl.createTocXML.param
- Use this extension point to pass parameters to the stylesheet specified using the
com.oxygenxml.webhelp.classic.xsl.createTocXML
extension point.
