heading 1
heading 2
heading 2
heading 1
3: Wonder whether it's possible to point one of those heading 1s to an URL
so that it opens Internet Explorer and displays the desired content (in the
system browser--not the right pane of eclipse help).
The context for this is as follows: We use eclipse help for some things but
also have a help system generated with Quadralay WebWorks. We want to dump
the WebWorks help into a plugin directory and have the toc point to
myplugindirectory/wwhelp.htm and have it open in IE.
Thanks,
ben

If you speficify absolute URL, that does not point to help server, you will
not get pointed to help server and see no help toolbars. For example,
<a href="http://eclipse.org" target="_blank">External</a>
opens a new embedded browser window, and loads eclipse.org in it. There is
no use of help server and no help toolbars are displayed. The window is
still the embedded browser. There is no way to change the browser by just
specifying a special URL. You can change help preferences to always use
external browser. The effect will be that help will be displayed in
Internet Explorer, and specifying target="_blank" will open another IE
window. Not to start help server at all (you would not link the external
document from help then), you can call org.eclipse.help.ui.LaunchURL class
from your custom action.
