| <h1>Changing how help information is displayed</h1> |
| |
| <h2>Help browser</h2> |
| <p>The help system can be accessed in help view, or separate help window. The |
| help window may have a form of a simple window with an embedded browser, or |
| be one of the web browser available on your system.</p> |
| <p>If embedded web browser is supported on your system, help uses an embedded |
| help browser to display help, whenever possible. When a |
| modal window is showing on the screen, that would prevent interacting with |
| the embedded browser, requesting help opens an external browser. If embedded |
| browser is used on your system and you prefer to always use external browser, |
| you may select this behavior in help preferences.</p> |
| <h2>Context help</h2> |
| <p>By default, context-sensitive help for workbench elements is displayed in |
| the help view. Context-sensitive help for dialogs is displayed adjacent to |
| the dialog, |
| in a window similar to the help view. If you prefer to display context help |
| in infopops when working in the workbench, in dialogs or both, change the selection |
| in the help preference page.</p> |
| <h2>Displaying topics</h2> |
| <p>A topic selected in the help view can be displayed in place, in the help view, |
| or in the editor area. You may indicate suitable way in the help preferences. |
| On some platforms, with no embedded browser, the topics will always be displayed |
| in an external browser.</p> |
