How to Create a Custom Footer

The main page of the WebHelp Responsive output contains a set of empty placeholders that can be used to display customized text fragments. These placeholders are available to you through WebHelp Responsive transformation scenario parameters. For example, the placeholder identified through the webhelp.fragment.footer parameter displays the custom content at the bottom of the page.

Using a Publishing Template

To create a custom footer in the WebHelp Responsive output using an Oxygen Publishing Template, follow this procedure:
  1. If you have not already created a Publishing Template, see How to Create a Publishing Template.
  2. Open the template descriptor file associated with your publishing template and add the webhelp.fragment.footer parameter in the html-fragments section with its value set to a path of a file that contains well-formed XHTML content.
    <publishing-template>
  ...
  <webhelp>
    ...                
    <html-fragments>
      <fragment file="html/footer.xhtml" placeholder="webhelp.fragment.footer"/>
    </html-fragments>
  </webhelp>
    Important: This parameter should only be used if you are using a valid, purchased license of Oxygen XML WebHelp Responsive plugin (do not use it with a trial license).
  3. Open the DITA Map WebHelp Responsive transformation scenario.
  4. Click the Choose Custom Publishing Template link and select your template.
