public HelpWriter(String filename)
Constructor to construct HelpWriter object.

param
filename File to be generated.

        super(filename);
Methods Summary
public static voidgenerate()
Construct the HelpWriter object and then use it to generate the help file. The name of the generated file is "help-doc.html". The help file will get generated if and only if "-helpfile" and "-nohelp" is not used on the command line.

        HelpWriter helpgen;
        String filename = "";
        try {
            filename = "help-doc.html";
            helpgen = new HelpWriter(filename);
            helpgen.generateHelpFile();
            helpgen.close();
        } catch (IOException exc) {
            Standard.configuration().standardmessage.error(
                "doclet.exception_encountered",
                exc.toString(), filename);
            throw new DocletAbortException();
        }
protected voidgenerateHelpFile()
Generate the help file contents.

        printHeader(getText("doclet.Window_Help_title",
                            Standard.configuration().windowtitle));
        navLinks(true);  hr();

        printHelpFileContents();

        navLinks(false);
        printBottom();
        printBodyHtmlEnd();
protected voidnavLinkHelp()
Highlight the word "Help" in the navigation bar as this is the help file.

        navCellRevStart();
        fontStyle("NavBarFont1Rev");
        boldText("doclet.Help");
        fontEnd();
        navCellEnd();
protected voidprintHelpFileContents()
Print the help file contents from the resource file. While generating the help file contents it also keeps track of user options. If "-notree" is used, then the "overview-tree.html" will not get generated and hence help information also will not get generated.
