Publishing templates gallery

oXygen WebHelp for IXIASOFT CCMS comes bundled with a variety of built-in templates. You can use one of them to publish your documentation or as a starting point for a new publishing template.

Built-in Templates

There are two categories of templates, Tiles and Tree. You can see the built-in templates in the Templates tab when editing a WebHelp Responsive transformation scenario in Oxygen XML Editor/Author. Each one also includes an Online preview icon in the bottom-right corner that opens a webpage in your default browser that provides a sample of how the main page will look when that particular template is used to generate the output.

Tiles Templates

The main page in the WebHelp output presents a tile for each main topic (chapter) of the documentation.

Tree Templates

The main page in the WebHelp output presents a tree-like table of contents.

Built-in Templates Location

All built-in templates are stored in the following directory: [DITA-OT DIR]/plugins/com.oxygenxml.webhelp.responsive/templates.

Custom Templates

You can use a built-in template as a starting point for creating your own custom template. You can store all of your custom templates in a particular directory. Then, go to Options > Preferences > DITA > Publishing and add your directory to the list, and all the templates stored in that directory will be displayed in the preview pane in the transformation scenario's Template tab along with all the built-in templates.
