I wrote this blog post to show some of the
UI features provided by
DocBook WebHelp. So, following is a set of screenshots I took which which is how webhelp will look like in the next release. The next release would probably be versioned as 1.77.x. These are taken from revision r
9240 on
2012-03-16. You may download the latest snapshot from
DocBook snapshots site. You may download the latest release
here.

| A chunked output page docbook webhelp. It includes a header in top with a company logo, Contents, and Search panes at left side; the real contents in the right larger section; And some minor but useful features at top-right corner. The browser is Chromium/Google Chrome 16. Click on the screenshot for a larger view. |
 |
You may hide/unhide the left sidebar by clicking on SIDEBAR at top-right corner in the page. Isn't that a easier way to read the contents? or do you prefer the default way? For larger monitors the effect is minimal!

A zoomed view the Contents pane in left. This shows the Table of Contents of the documentation, broken down by chapters/sections. You can configure the number of tree levels if you think it's necessary.
|
 |
| Plain search view. You can turn on/off the Search Highlighter provided. Try it yourself! |
 |
A typical search results section. Read here to understand how the search result summaries appeared! And, we provide search scoring/rating mechanism for better searching.
|
 |
| A search with several words. WebHelp displays the results for the whole query, as well as for individual words which is nicely sectioned as shown above. |
