Enhancements/Highlight search results in Firefox/Crome, etc., browsers for Linux users of WebWorks 5.0 docs
Summary
WebWorks 5.0 output has fully functioning search behavior only in Internet Explorer, not in Firefox and other browser used by Linux users.
Detailed Description
WebWorks 5.0 output is great for single-sourcing output to both Windows and Linux users. However, only Windows IE users get fully functioning search behavior--where terms are highlighted on the page and focus is scrolled to the first found term on a page.
Use Cases
Providing CHMs and searchable HTML to customers is very important, and Linux users need this, too. Currently, the only way to give this to Linux customers is to output to PDF. A lot of tools output to PDF, whereas, only ePublisher outputs to WebWorks 5.0-based HTML. ePublisher WebWorks 5.0 search support should be fully implemented for Linux-based browsers, especially Firefox and Chrome.
| DwightNeedels | This is a very serious problem for me, too. I write software manuals for Linux instrument-control and data analysis software, and ePublisher is the primary source of on-instrument searchable content for our users. Please add some sort of workaround for highlighting search terms in WebWorks output for Linux!!! |
