Oxygen WebHelp for DITA

Oxygen offers support for transforming DITA resources into WebHelp output. WebHelp consists of a series of HTML pages, neatly integrated into a system that offers table of contents, index navigation, text search capabilities, and various delivery formats (including feedback-enabled systems).

A WebHelp system is the result of running a transformation scenario. However, if you require an automated process that produces the WebHelp output, the same result can be obtained by running the transformation inside Oxygen XML WebHelp Plugin, which is a command-line interface application that requires its own license key.
