+Helpcontent displayed in a browser
+==================================
+
+This directory contains files needed to convert the XHP files to html, and
+also the html and css files needed for the actual rendering in the web
+browser.
+
+Building and translation of the XHP files is now integrated into the
+LibreOffice build process based on gbuild. If you want to use it, configure
+LibreOffice with one of the:
+
+ --with-help=html (for the local html files)
+ --with-help=online (for the html files that can be uploaded to a webserver)
+
+Using the online version
+------------------------
+
+When you have configured with --with-help=online, the result of the build is
+in
+
+ instdir/help
+
+You want to upload to your webserver like:
+
+ rsync -avz instdir/help/ username@webserver:/srv/www/htdocs/
+
+Then you also need to setup a link 'latest' on the server, like
+
+ ln -s 6.1 latest
+
+and make sure that symlinks are allowed in the webserver configuration.
+
+File descriptions
+-----------------
+
+* default.css:
+
+ the cascading style sheet for HTML formatting.
+
+* online_transform.xsl:
+
+ the XSL transform file. Transform XHP files into HTML files.
+
+ This file is a modification of xmlhelper/util/main_transform.xsl, which was designed for xmlhelp XSL processor.

+
+ 1. modifies href attributes in <a> of #DisplayArea to handle &DbPAR and &System params
