Hi group (and Radu) I have just discovered the TocJS transformation, which gives me a nice "Contents" pane in my HTML output. Are there any plans for a "SearchJS" transformation which works in a similar way? This would give us a "webhelp-ish" output of a DITA map. Thanks. -- Yves Barbion www.scripto.nu

Hi Yves, There's an htmlsearch plugin available in the files section of the dita-users yahoogroup, however it hasn't been touched in a few years and I don't know if it works out-of-the-box with the tocjs. Perhaps you have to do a little work to get them together. Btw., the htmlsearch plugin was used as the basis for webhelp for docbook: http://www.thingbag.net/docbook/gsoc2010/doc/content/ch01.html In doing that, Kasun Gajasinghe added stemming and CJK support to the search, but we didn't remove any of the DITA-specific stuff from the indexer (e.g. use of shortdesc for the search summaries), so you could use it to cook up a DITA-based webhelp. Note that you'll need to modify the JavaScript portions of the htmlsearch plugin too since you need to stem/tokenize the search input so it matches what was indexed. The DocBook webhelp stuff will be included in the 1.76.0 release of the DocBook xsls.

Hi Yves, Oxygen 12 will contain an out-of-the-box DITA to WebHelp transformation. You can download Oxygen 12 beta and give it a try: http://www.oxygenxml.com/pipermail/oxygen-user/2010-August/003271.html The indexing part of this first version of WebHelp DITA OT plugin is done by the same indexer project David Cramer is referring to in his reply.

Hi Radu, If there's time before the oXygen 12 release, you should grab the latest indexer stuff from the DocBook svn trunk. It looks like the version you have is from earlier in the summer before Kasun added the French stemmer and CJK support. Also please include the indexer's license in there somewhere :-) Thanks, David -----Original Message----- From: oxygen-user-bounces@oxygenxml.com [mailto:oxygen-user-bounces@oxygenxml.com] On Behalf Of Radu Coravu Sent: Thursday, September 02, 2010 1:10 AM To: oxygen-user@oxygenxml.com Subject: Re: [oXygen-user] SearchJS transformation?

Hi David, Kasun, Thanks for the work you've put into this project. The license file for the indexer will be included in the final Oxygen 12 kit, thanks for pointing this out. I'll also look into updating the indexer to the latest available sources. We'll also work on developing our in-house indexer for Oxygen 12.1 as we are interested in providing different scores for the found words (for example words in the title have more importance than words in a paragraph).
