## 9. help

    <help
      location = anyURI
    />

Adds specified JavaHelp™ `.jar` file to the online help displayed using Help → Help.

Example:

    <help location="docbook_help.jar" />

If the `.jar` file is called ``foo`.jar`, it must contain a help set file called ``foo`/jhelpset.hs`. In the case of the above example, `docbook_help.jar` must contain `docbook_help/jhelpset.hs`.

An online help may be available in several languages. Example: let's suppose that `docbook_help.jar` is to be available in English, French and German. In such case, you must provide three JavaHelp™ `.jar` files:

- `docbook_help.jar` containing `docbook_help/jhelpset.hs`.

- `docbook_help_fr.jar` containing `docbook_help_fr/jhelpset.hs`.

- `docbook_help_de.jar` containing `docbook_help_de/jhelpset.hs`.

Which JavaHelp™ `.jar` file is actually used depends on the locale of the machine running XMLmind XML Editor.

In the above example, we assume that English is the default, fallback, language.

Use two-letter, lowercase, language codes such as `fr` and `de` to specify languages. Do not use language variants like `fr_CA`.

Declare just `docbook_help.jar` using using a `help` configuration element (that is, `<help location="docbook_help.jar"/>`). Do not declare `docbook_help_fr.jar` and `docbook_help_de.jar`.
