<h1 class="topictitle1">Example: Creating the Help Document</h1>
<div><p></p>
<div class="section"><p>Creating help files with GUI Builder is simple. On the properties
panel for the file you are working with, set "Generate help" to true.</p>
<p><strong>Figure

<p>The GUI Builder creates an HTML framework called
a Help Document, which you can <a href="helpinfo.htm#helpinfo">edit</a>.</p>
<p id="helpex__help2htm"><a name="helpex__help2htm"><!-- --></a>In order to be used at runtime, the topics within the PDML
file need to be separated into individual HTML files. When you run <strong>Help
Document to HTML Processing</strong>, the topics are broken into individual files
and put into a subdirectory named after the Help Document and PDML file.
The runtime environment expects the individual HTML files to be in a subdirectory
with the same name as the Help Document and PDML file. The <strong>Help Document
to HTML Processing</strong> dialog gathers the information needed and calls the
HelpDocSplitter program to do the processing:</p>
<p><strong>Figure 2: Help Document
to HTML Processing dialog</strong> <img src="rzahh060.gif" alt="Help Document to HTML Processing dialog" /></p>
<p>The Help Document to HTML Processing is started
from a command prompt by typing:</p>
<pre> jre com.ibm.as400.ui.tools.hdoc2htmViewer</pre>
<p>Running
this command requires that your <a href="pdmlbeg.htm#pdmlbeg__clpath">classpath
be set up correctly</a>.</p>
<p>To use the Help Document to HTML Processing,
you first select the Help Document that has the same name as the PDML file.
Next, you specify a subdirectory with the same name as the Help Document and
PDML file for output. Select "Process" to complete the processing.</p>
<p>You
can split up the help document from the command line with the following command:</p>
<pre> jre com.ibm.as400.ui.tools.HelpDocSplitter "helpdocument.htm" [output directory]</pre>
<p>This command runs the processing that breaks up the file.
You provide the name of the Help Document as input along with an optional
output directory. By default, a subdirectory of the same name as the Help
Document is created and the resulting files are put in that directory.</p>
<p>This
is an example of what a help file may look like:</p>
