Hello,

I am using Doc-To-Help 2005 in order to generate a JavaHelp for my application. By default, when I open the generated JavaHelp for visualization, all the table of contents topics from the root level are opened. For example, if *** symbolizes a book and --- symbolizes a topic, I automatically get:

***BOOK 1
      ---TOPIC 1_1
***BOOK 2
      ***BOOK 2_1
      ---TOPIC 2_2
      ---TOPIC 2_3
      ***BOOK 2_4

However I would like the default view to be set like this:

***BOOK1
***BOOK2

Basically, this result is easy to obtain afterwards, by editing the generated ...-toc.xml file and by adding the expand = false parameter to each <tocitem> concerned. However, I will need to regenerate this JavaHelp often and cannot modify the XML manually each time, and I would like to avoid making a complicated script if not necessary.

Is there a Doc-to-Help 2005 (or in a newer version) functionnality in order to define how many levels of TOC will be shown by default?

Thanks in advance,
Regards.

Hello and thanks for your answer,

In fact we agree: we can manually edit the XML file but it is necessary to do it at each build (I have a very large project so it's impossible for me).

I currently do not change anything in the Doc-to-Help project: in fact, that is my question! Is there any parameter in Doc-to-Help which could automate the writing of the "expand=false" tag, or is it mandatory to edit it afterwards?

Hi again,

Does somebody have any element to bring in order to answer to my question? Or do you think that what I am asking (showing a collapsed tree by default without editing the XML file manually) is impossible?

Thanks again.
