6 Padre::Help - Padre Help Provider API
7
9 The "Padre::Help" class provides a base class, default implementation
10 and API documentation for help provision support in Padre.
11
12 In order to setup a help system for a document type called "XYZ" one
13 has to do the following: Create a module called "Padre::Help::XYZ" that
14 subclasses the "Padre::Help" module and override 3 methods:
15 "help_init", "help_list" and "help_render".
16
17 In the class representing the Document ("Padre::Document::XYZ") one
18 should override the "get_help_provider" method and return an object of
19 the help provide module. In our case it should contain
20
21 require Padre::Help::XYZ;
22 return Padre::Help::XYZ->new;
23
24 (TO DO: Maybe it should only return the name of the module)
25
26 The "help_init" method is called by the new method of "Padre::Help"
27 once for every document of "XYZ" kind. (TO DO: maybe it should be only
28 once for every document type, and not once for every document of that
29 type).
30
31 "help_list" should return a reference to an array holding the possible
32 strings the system can provide help for.
33
34 "help_render" is called by one of the keywords, it should return the
35 HTML to be displayed as help and another string which is the location
36 of the help. Usually a path to a file that will be used in the title of
37 the window.
