Hi,

-We have a custom/home written KDE4 application. I'm trying to add our application manual/hanbook using the KDE suggestions to do this.

-Following http://l10n.kde.org/docs/ which is very KDE-bundled-applications only centric, I used the dockbook template, edited it adding our application specifics and created html using meinproc4 as suggested. All works fine.

>>Now, how do I add this under the KDE Help Centre so that our application's handbook gets displayed and made accessible from here?

>>Is there any tools to do this or is this a tedious manual process?

>>How do KDE do it from all their bundled applications?

>>Can this be specified, to be added during the application installation, from cmake?


Thanx,:-[

@twoflower: When posting to KDE mailing lists, please include the entire text of your problem with that mail, not just a link to the forum thread.

Does anyone have any answers to any my questions?

Unfortunately, it is not easy to write Handbooks. KDE Handbooks are stored in the DocBook format, so you may be able to find some documentation online.

Thanks, as you know online is like the big black hole - too much noise - no real info.

in documentation dir add a CMakeLists.txt with:
kde4_create_handbook(index.docbook INSTALL_DESTINATION ${HTML_INSTALL_DIR}/en
SUBDIR appname)

>How do I get our handbook catalogued under application manuals into the KHelpCenter?
Add these entries to appname.desktop:
X-DocPath=appname/index.html
Categories=Qt;KDE;category_of_your_app;
