+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
+-----------------
+
+index2.html:
+
+This is the starting point for help when F1 is pressed. The control 'target' is passed in
+and then the javascript here does the lookup of the hid2file.js map. If the target is found then that
+HTML file is given to the browser with the module and other parameters added, otherwise it substitutes
+a default, which is the modules main page.
+
+* 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 xmlhelp/util/main_transform.xsl, which was designed for xmlhelp XSL processor.
+
+* help.js
+
+ This javascript file:
+
+ 1. modifies href attributes in <a> of #DisplayArea to handle &DbPAR and &System params
+ 2. picks the bookmarks file and displays in #BottomLeft <div> area.
+ 3. Reads URL params.
+
+New ‘Object’ tag
+----------------
+
+The filter online_transform.xsl now support the <object> tag defined for XHP files to allow a generic object in the browser. The <object> tag now maps to the following HTML5 tags:
+Maps to HTML5 <video> tag:
+
+<section id="video">
+ <object id="1232312" type ="video/ogg" data="movies/testvideo.ogv" height="480px" width="640px"/>
+</section>
+
+Maps to HTML5 <audio> tag:
+<section id="audio">
+ <object id="1232312" type ="audio/ogg" data="audio/testaudio.wav" height="" width=""/>
+</section>
+
+Maps to HTML5 <object> tag:
+
+ <object id="1232312" type ="{mimetype}" data="object/testobject.swf" height="" width=""/>
