Context sensitive help (CSH) is help set up to open at a topic relevant to the field or screen that the user is viewing. To allow your projects to have context sensitivity, you need to create context sensitive help calls in your application and you need to prepare your project for these help calls.

Adobe provides several default APIs but these APIs do not support all the methods of context sensitivity that WebHelp supports. The above download combines a custom JavaScript API and a testpage for the context sensitivity of RoboHelp WebHelp output. You can use the custom JavaScript API directly in your webapplication or use it as an example for creating your own API. The CSH tester is an example implementation of the custom JavaScript API. You can also use the CSH tester to test the context sensitivity of your projects.

If you have any questions after reading the readme or the API documentation, don't hesitate to contact me.
