The Graphical User Interface will be based totally on LG3D? API. On the left side there'll be a list of topics for the particular application and on the right an explanation for the this topic.

The Graphical User Interface, on which I think very intensively, will be based totally on LG3D? API. On the left side there'll be a list of topics for the particular application and on the right an explanation for the this topic.

 It will probably include support for many languages.

There'll be proposed some standard for preparing help files, for example:
- Those files should be placed in a folder, which name will be i.e. HELP, MANUAL etc.
- Developer of particular application will be delivered with CSS file, which will be the base for properly prepared help files.

Updates

  • 10th of May, 2006

    We decided to use Flying Saucer: The 100% Java XHTML Renderer instead of JDIC HTML. The main reason is that JDIC isn't platform independant.

After finding the interesting information for the user, system will display it on the right side of the application, in the other case it'll display the message informing about unsuccesful searching the help document.
