Generating Help and printed documents
Create and locate a Help content configuration file
The AIR Help viewer must be associated with the Help content file to display content in the selected format. Create an
XML file with a .helpcfg extension to associate the RHA file with the AIR Help viewer. Save the file at the same location
as the installed AIR file. The AIR Help viewer uses the .helpcfg file to locate the path to the Help content file and then
displays the Help content.
Repeat the XML code for every Help file that you want to display with the Help viewer.
For example, an XML file that contains the Help content configuration contains the following line of code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<contents>
<data id="" label="" onlineurl="" offlineurl=""/>
</contents>

Note: The name of the .helpcfg file can be set to any name. The name does not need to match the name of the .air or .exe
file in the installation folder.
