This kind of parameter may be used to override any of the default values of the CSS variables specified in any of the NNtheme.css template files (all found in ebookc_install_dir/whc_template/_wh/).

For example, the main NNtheme.css template file:

body {
    ...
    --navigation-width: 33%;
    ...
} 

The wh---navigation-width CSS variable is used as follows in NNcommon.css, another CSS template file:

#wh-navigation {
    ...
    width: var(--navigation-width); 
    ...
}

Therefore parameter wh---navigation-width may be used to give the navigation side of the generated Web Help a different initial width. Example: -p wh---navigation-width "25%".

Examples of such number-like words: 3.14, 3,14, 3times4equals12, +1, -1.0, 3px, 1,2cm, 100%, 1.0E+6, 1,000.00$.

When wh-inherit-font-and-colors is set to 'no', the navigation pane of the generated Web Help uses fonts and colors of its own, which will generally differ from those used for the content of the Web Help.

Setting wh-inherit-font-and-colors to 'yes' lets you use for the navigation pane the same fonts and colors as those used for the content of the Web Help.

So basically this parameter is a shorthand for:

-p wh---navigation-font-family inherit¬
-p wh---navigation-font-size inherit¬
-p wh---navigation-color inherit¬
-p wh---navigation-background-color inherit

See above wh---CSS_VAR_NAME parameters.

Example: https://code.jquery.com/¬
jquery-3.7.1.slim.min.js.

Specifying an "https:" URL is recommended when the generated Web Help is stored on an HTTPS server.

By default, the jQuery files are accessed from the Web (typically from a CDN).

Note that this parameter is applied after jQuery has been possibly customized using parameter wh-jquery. For example, "-p wh-jquery https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.7.1.min.js" copies a file downloaded from https://code.jquery.com/ to _wh/jquery/.

For now, only 3 layouts are supported: 'classic', 'simple' and 'corporate'.

Specifies whether the generated Web Help should be “responsive”, that is, whether it should adapt its layout to the size of the screen.

Specifies which language should be used for the messages (tab labels, button tool tips, etc) of the generated Web Help.

Default value "browser" means that this language is the one used by the Web browser for its own messages. This language may often be specified in the user preferences of the Web browser.

Value "document" means that the language of the document should be used.

A language code such as en, en-US, es, es-AR, etc, may be used to explicitly specify which language should be used.

By default, stemming is used whenever possible, that is,

1. when the main language of the XHTML pages to be compiled can be determined;
2. when this main language is one of: Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Romanian, Turkish.

The main language of the document is specified by the @xml:lang attribute found on the root element of the ebook specification being compiled; otherwise, it is assumed to be "en".

This file is copied to output_directory/_wh/user/.

Sample user's CSS wh_resources/header_footer.css as used in the following example:

-p wh-user-header¬
wh_resources/header.html
-p wh-user-footer¬
wh_resources/footer.html
-p wh-user-css¬
wh_resources/header_footer.css
-p wh-user-resources¬
wh_resources/header_footer_files

The content of the body element of user-footer is inserted as is in the <div id="wh-footer"> found in each page of the Web Help.

Same remark as for parameter user-header about the resources referenced by a user's footer.

Sample user's footer wh_resources/footer.html as used in the following example:

-p wh-user-header¬
wh_resources/header.html
-p wh-user-footer¬
wh_resources/footer.html
-p wh-user-css¬
wh_resources/header_footer.css
-p wh-user-resources¬
wh_resources/header_footer_files

More examples in "XMLmind Web Help Compiler Manual, Getting started".

The content of the body element of user-header is inserted as is in the <div id="wh-header"> found in each page of the Web Help.

If a user's header references resources (e.g. image files), then these resources must either be referenced using absolute URLs or these resources must be found in a user's resource directory and parameter user-resources must be specified.

Example:

• The user's resource directory is called header_footer_files/ and contains header_footer_files/logo200x100.png.
• ebookc is passed parameters -p user-resources PATH_TO/header_footer_files and -p user-header PATH_TO/header.html.
• header.html looks like this:

  <html>
  ...
  <body>
  ...
  <img
  src="_wh/user/header_footer_files/¬
  logo200x100.png" />
  ...
  </body>
  </html>

  Notice the path used to reference logo200x100.png.

Sample user's header wh_resources/header.html as used in the following example:

-p wh-user-header¬
wh_resources/header.html
-p wh-user-footer¬
wh_resources/footer.html
-p wh-user-css¬
wh_resources/header_footer.css
-p wh-user-resources¬
wh_resources/header_footer_files

This directory typically contains image files referenced by the user's header, footer or CSS stylesheet.

Sample user's resource directory wh_resources/header_footer_files/ as used in the following example:

-p wh-user-header¬
wh_resources/header.html
-p wh-user-footer¬
wh_resources/footer.html
-p wh-user-css¬
wh_resources/header_footer.css
-p wh-user-resources¬
wh_resources/header_footer_files
