Overview - End-user Help options

The MathFlow SDK editors recognize two types of help: HTML and JavaHelp. If you are using applets, the download time of large jar files may cause the applet initialization to appear stalled. If this is the case, we recommend you use HTML pages for your online help to minimize the size of the jar files. Alternatively, JavaHelp is a full help system that includes an index and search. If users have a fast connection (such as a company intranet), downloading a large jar file might not be an issue and you should use JavaHelp. The JavaHelp is included in MFStyleEditor.jar and MFStructureEditor.jar. If you decide not to use JavaHelp and would like a smaller jar file to use for an applet, remove the help directory from the jar and resign it.
