Hi<br><br>There are indeed big differences between the 4.1.2 and the 5.2.0.<br><br>The greatest is that help files must now be written in the XML langage and strictly comply with Scilab specifications.<br><br>When your help files comply with Scilab specifications that you have to run xml2jar('avaHelp',helps_dirs,helps_titles)<br>
<br>And once it has been done, you must run:<br>add_help_chapter(your title','helps_dir',%f);<br><br>To understand how it works, you can for instance have a look at
<a href="mailto:top@tpett.com">Torbjørn Pettersen</a> toolbox <a class="contrib_title" href="http://www.scilab.org/contrib/index_contrib.php?page=displayContribution&fileID=1200">guimaker (1.2)</a> (<a href="http://www.scilab.org/contrib/index_contrib.php?page=listdyn&order=date">http://www.scilab.org/contrib/index_contrib.php?page=listdyn&order=date</a>).<br>
<br>If it can help, I have written a Scilab function html2xml.sci to translate my help files. Altough it is only suited to my needs, I think it could be adapted to your needs relatively easily. I join also a html file and its xml version to help you understand how it works. If you need more examples, you can download on my web site (<a href="http://dubois.ensae.net/grocer.html">http://dubois.ensae.net/grocer.html</a>) the version of my toolbox for Siclab-4.1.2 and the one for Scilab-5.> and compare the html and xml files resulting from this translation.<br>
<br>Hope it will help.<br><br>Eric.<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/12/24 José Luis Volta Grau <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jlvolta@hipuu.com.py">jlvolta@hipuu.com.py</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Hi,</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">I've tried to add a help chapter for my
functions to the Scilab-5.2.0 help system, as I did with version
4.1.2</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">But Scilab rises an error when I try
to access the global constant "%helps", and nothing happens when I use the
"add_help_chapter" function (my help chapter doesn't appear).</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">What's the difference between the 5.2.0 and 4.1.2
versions ?</font></div>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">I would appreciate some help,</font></div>
