Hello, You should create a file with your XHTML code for Google Analytics and set the path of this file in the parameter called webhelp.head.script in the DITA Webhelp transformation. The Webhelp transformation inserts the content of the file set in the webhelp.head.script parameter in the <head> element of each output Webhelp page. If you need to insert some JavaScript code in the <body> element of each page you can use the parameter called webhelp.body.script. The value of the parameter is the file path of a file containing the XHTML code that will be inserted at the beginning of the <body> element. The parameters webhelp.head.script and webhelp.body.script can be used in the same Webhelp transformation and we used both parameters for our internal Webhelp transformations when we needed to add Google Analytics code to the Webhelp pages. You can use only one of them if it works for you to insert the whole JavaScript code either in <head> or in <body>. Best regards, Sorin http://www.oxygenxml.com Scott Barney wrote:
We are using DITA and DITA-OT with the oXygen WebHelp plug-in to create our online documentation (with a customized DTD).
We would like to use Google Analytics to track our Web page usage. According to my webmistress, we will need to include our Google Analytics tracking code (which looks something like UA-99999999-9) in each page output.
The code that we’ve added for our other Web pages appears similar to this (account number has been modified in this example):
<script type="text/javascript" async="" src="http://www.google-analytics.com/ga.js">
<script type="text/javascript">
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-29999999-2']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();
</script>
Is there an option in the WebHelp plug-in that would allow us to simply add this type of code to the <head> element? Or could it possibly be as simple as adding proper metadata to our DITA files?
Thanks,
Scott
