Help Builder is an extensible platform that can be extended via add-ins using any .NET Language, Visual FoxPro or COM objects. You can find out more about Help Builder's add-in model here.

We're hoping that you will find some useful enhancements that you are creating and want to share with the user community. A number of people have asked for add-in support, so here it is - let's see what you can do with it. Have ideas, questions, comments? Make sure you let us know on the Message Board.

To submit an add-in for publication here please contact Rick Strahl.

 

Html Help Workshop Project Importer

Author: Rick Strahl (West Wind Technologies) and Andrew McNeil
Language: FoxPro (source provided)
Added: 04/12/2005
Download

This add-in imports the content of an HTML Workshop project into Help Builder. The import pulls in only the HTML content of the actual linked topics in the Help project. Any related resources such as related images, styles and external HTML pages need to be manually moved.

The add-in parses the Html Help Workshop project and imports the body of each of the HTML topics by importing content inside of the <body> tags. A new project is created of the files.
Source code is provide so you can override the import behavior to strip out things like headers in the ParseContent method of the class.

Fix Static Members

Author: Rick Strahl (West Wind Technologies)
Language: .NET (source provided)

This add-in fixes up static members for .NET types for classes that were previously imported into a project but don't have their Static field flag set. Help Builder didn't set this flag prior to version 4.42 and if you imported and never updated the import you will not see the member displayed properly with the Static icon next to it. This add-in sets the flag on all static members by checking the signature for 'static'  or 'shared' values.

Source code for this add-in is provided and it serves as common example for an add-in that needs to parse through all or some topics of the help file and take action changing values as needed and save the changes back into the project file.
