Removing the Previous/Next Links from WebHelp Classic Output
Edit online

The Previous and Next links that are created at the top area of each WebHelp Classic page can be hidden with a CSS code.

Using Oxygen XML Editor/Author

To remove these links from WebHelp Classic output and use a transformation scenario from within Oxygen XML Editor/Author, follow this procedure:
  1. Create a custom CSS file and add the following CSS code:
    .navparent, .navprev, .navnext {
    visibility:hidden;
}
  2. Edit the WebHelp transformation scenario and open the Parameters tab.
    • For a DITA transformation, set the args.css parameter to the path of your custom CSS file. Also, set the args.copycss parameter to yes to automatically copy your custom CSS in the output folder when the transformation scenario is processed.
    • For a DocBook transformation, set the html.stylesheet parameter to the path of your custom CSS file.
  3. Run the WebHelp transformation scenario to generate the output.

Using a Script Outside of Oxygen XML Editor/Author

Important: Running WebHelp transformations from a script outside of Oxygen XML Editor/Author requires an additional license and some additional setup:
To remove these links from WebHelp Classic output and use a script outside of Oxygen XML Editor/Author, follow this procedure:
  1. Create a custom CSS file and add the following CSS code:
    .navparent, .navprev, .navnext {
    visibility:hidden;
}
  2. Reference your custom CSS file:
    • For DITA transformations, use the args.css parameter in your transformation script and set its value to the path of your custom CSS file. Also, set the args.copycss parameter to yes to automatically copy your custom CSS in the output folder when the transformation scenario is processed.
    • For DocBook transformations, use the html.stylesheet parameter in your transformation script and set its value to the path of your custom CSS file.
  3. Execute the transformation script.
For example, a DITA script might look like this::
  • Windows:

    dita.bat -i c:\mySample.ditamap -f webhelp -Dargs.css=c:\myFile.css -Dargs.copycss=yes

  • Mac OS X/ Linux:

    dita -i C:/mySample.ditamap -f webhelp -Dargs.css=C:/myFile.css -Dargs.copycss=yes
