Using Custom Windows in Oracle Help
By default, Oracle Help uses the standard Oracle Help viewer. You can modify the size, position, and other characteristics of the Oracle Help windows. You can also define and use custom windows in your Oracle Help project. To define custom windows, you need to override the
template.hs file, which is used to create your helpset .hs file.Once you have defined custom windows in a project, you can assign topics to them by adding the WindowType marker in specific topics in your source documents. When you assign a topic to a custom window, the topic is displayed in that window whenever users view the topic.
