What?
Context-sensitive WebHelp using a “preview feature” in XMetaL

No user download required
How?
Uses Javascript, XMetaL target (beta code)
Some customization required
Features (Pros)
Collapsible TOC
Index, search, browse
Print (but only single topic)
Cons
Does not launch if WebHelp already open
Links work (go to appropriate page), but framework not operational
XMetaL IDs are long and complex; Eric created his own unique IDs
