Hi,

I've been doing a lot of documentation lately, and though the tools are great, there is one aspect that is a little awkward. In order to see what the docs will look like to user, I have to launch an Eclipse runtime with my docs plugin and then from that launch the Help browser. This is especially inefficient because I'm on a mac so the help browser is external. I recognize that sometimes edits are available immediately, but that doesn't work for all changes. (I do wikitext generation for example.)

Is there a better usage pattern here? Anyway to launch the help browser directly from host development environment without going through intermediate step of Eclipse runtime?

thanks,

Miles
