AL,

The help you get might well be directly proportional to the effort you
put into the question.

LOL :-)

What I meant is: How can I leverage the 'Help' view to have it displayed
the content I want? Basically helpView.setInput(...) but I have been
looking through the documentation for an example to correctly use it.
Obviously I can use the workbench API to get the 'Help' view and do a
setInput on it. But, is that the right way to do it?

Thanks.

Are you looking for context sensitive (i.e. "F1 Help")?

No, unfortunately...

I have written an editor that uses BrowserInformationControl for content
assist infopop window. When the user clicks on the link (the HTML
content) in the info part, I would like to display stuff in the the
'Help' view. More preferably I want to have my doc plug-in's page
displayed but that is not possible with platform URI from an HTML content.

Thanks.
