The Templates feature available in HelpSmith allows you to easily customize the appearance of help topics in various documentation formats that you can create including HTML Help (CHM), Web Help, PDF, or ePub eBook.
While editing your help project, you can add any number of templates that you can apply to all topics in a specific output format, or to individual topics only.
Please note that a template is a regular document that you can edit similarly to a topic in the HelpSmith's word processor. However, a template usually contains only the common parts that will apply to the topics during the compilation process when you produce a CHM file, Web Help, or other documentation formats.
For example, a template usually contains the following document parts:
- Header area with the #TopicTitle variable that will display the title of the actual topic, breadcrumb object, and navigation links.
- TopicContent placeholder - a mandatory placeholder that defines the place where you want to insert the actual topic content during the compilation process.
- Footer area that can contain a copyright string, a widget with social comments (in a Web Help system), and so on.
It should be noted that while you can create a custom design for a template, HelpSmith also includes a set of pre-built templates that you can simply add to your help project, and then modify the templates according to your own needs.
