| |
| <h3>External browser</h3> |
| |
| <p> |
| The Help system can be accessed in Help view, or separate Help window. The |
| window can be the default window with an embedded browser, or a full external |
| browser of your choice. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| If the embedded browser is supported on your system, help will use it by default |
| to display help. If you prefer to always use a full external browser, you may |
| select this behavior in the |

| <h3>Context-sensitive help</h3> |
| |
| <p> |
| By default, context-sensitive help for workbench elements is displayed in |
| the Help view, and context-sensitive help for dialogs is displayed in the |
| dialog's tray, which is similar to the Help view. |

| <h3>Displaying topics</h3> |
| |
| <p> |
| A topic selected in the Help view can be displayed in place, in the Help view, |
| or in the editor area. You can set this preference in the Help preference page. |
| On some platforms, with no embedded browser, the topics will always be displayed |
| in an external browser. |
