Editing the header and footer

You can include headers and footers in your project. A header is a common element that is displayed at the top of each page; a footer is a common element that is displayed at the bottom of each page. By default, the header shows the help icon and the current page title - this is what is used in the Help Crafter help. Headers and footers can be turned on or off in the Helpbook general settings .

To edit the header:

Double click anywhere in the header area, and make your changes. You can apply styles, change the font, insert variable text, or use any of the other functions available for editing text in Help Crafter.
To stop editing the header, click the X in the lower left of the header area.

To edit the footer:

Double click anywhere in the footer area, and make your changes.
To stop editing the footer, click the X in the lower left of the footer area.

Tip: headers and footers can contain variable text , either user defined or system generated. For example, the default header contains the PageTitle variable, which always contains the current, localized page title. Although headers and footers can not be directly localized, user defined variables can be localized. If you need to localize your headers and footers, you can provide define variables for your content, then provide values for each language in your help document.
