Hello,

I'm using the help system with my own content and looking for a way to
expand/open a section when starting the help system.
Is there a setting somewhere in the plugin.xml file ?

Thanks

david

Hi,

It is unclear how you start help system - menu action in application build
on top of IDE, RCP application, from code, or stand-alone help. Here are
some pointers, pick the one that fits your scenario:

The Help->Help Contents action that is in the menu by default opens a help
welcome page, not a specific topic or a book.
Using WorkenchHelp.displayHelpResource() you can pass URL to a TOC or an
HTML topic.
Using stand-alone help you can pass a URL with -command displayHelp [url]
parameters.
The URLs must be either absolute URLs like http://someexternalserver/path,
or relative like /myplugin/mytoc.xml or /myplugin/mytopic.html
