Context help (the editor)

The context-sensitive help editor gives you the full control over assigning context IDs, alias IDs, source files and commentaries. Possibility to work in simple mode is advantageous for users who do not want to deal with detailed definitions.

This editor allows you to also enter so-called text popups, a visual indication of duplicities and last but not least copying and pasting the selected items to and from the clipboard (for easy collaboration with other applications).

Context help navigation panel is used for filtering the items, selecting the working mode and for setting an additional editor parameters. It also allows the batch assignment of context identifiers to all help topics.

Editor itself is located on the "Context help page", that shows the table of topics, context help identifiers, source files and comments. All editing and assignment can be performed directly in this table, so the creation of context-sensitive help in the Precision Helper is similar to the work in spreadsheet editor.

The table can be also filtered by the text, this with help of the Search field (in the top right corner of the page).

Editor offers wide clipboard support, where it is possible to transfer the entire selected rows or only the columns of data, and this is for application itself (and its instances), as well as for interaction between Precision Helper and other applications (ie. development tool, spreadsheet editor, etc.)

Note:
    The table of context-sensitive help identifiers is automatically pre-filled with all topics defined anywhere in the project. You do not have to manualy add or remove topics, but only assign the identifiers. Saved are only the rows of context-sensitive help table, having completed the necessary data.

The context help navigation panel description is provided here.
