Previous and Next buttons at the bottom of each page
Description
We would like to add Previous and Next links to the bottom of each page (excluding the cover). A good example on the web is http://portfolios.knopf.com/portfolios/single-source/brio/wwh3/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm. According to tech support, "This was a webpage that was created with the WWH 3 from WebWorks 7. This is something that would be modified with Pages.xsl in our new product." Can this functionality be restored?

This can be configured in your page style options, no XSL required. Look under the "Options" section and you can enable/disable previous/next buttons on the generated pages. More advanced customizations can be made on Page.asp, still without delving into the land of XSL. Support can assist with guiding you through this process if necessary. The details are also included in our documentation:
Choosing the Location of Navigation Browse Buttons
Sorry, I'm thinking of Dynamic HTML here, not WWHelp 5.0. So yes, for WWHelp 5.0, you'd need to pull in some code/logic from Dynamic HTML's "pages.xsl" and "Page.asp" to achieve the same effect.
The starting point for this is to create overrides in the WWHelp 5.0 "Formats" folder for these two files and then compare then against Dynamic HTML's versions. I believe they may diff in fairly cleanly, though I could be wrong on this point.
