Re: Indexing Euphoria HTML Documentation for context sensitive help

I am rue to do all the data entry, if someone else is working on a better system, or has a better approach in mind.
Hmm....it might make sense for us to generate this as a euphoria include file that would do it for you. I'm sure we could come up with a more sophisticated search than we have in the javascript function, too.

Using an EDS database, "EuHelp.edb" with a table, "eu_kwds", a table with three fields, the first is the key, which is the search_word, a euphoria keyword, the second is the html documentation section, and the third is the html index #. Works like a charm:
k = db_find_key(search_word) if k > 0 then index = db_record_data(k) section = index[1] index = index[2] system_exec(BROWSER & "file:///home/kenneth/euphoria.4.0.3/docs/html/" & section & ".html#_" & index & "_" & search_word, 0) end if
That is all there is to it!
Well, I spent a lot of time manually entering the three data items necessary to call up the relevant article in a browser window - Now I find that the "index numbers" or (whatever it is called) has changed;
for Euphoria 4.0.5 --http://openeuphoria.org/docs/std_eds.html#_4203_db_open file:///home/kenneth/euphoria.4.0.3/docs/html/std_eds.html#_4108_db_open [Edited for format - Admin]
So... will the index numbers change with each new version of Euphoria?
