ewriter - surpressing footer from search

Unread post by Mike Linacre »

Hi folks:

Am testing ewriter in comparison with .chm. "Search" finds the expected results in .chm, but in ewriter it also finds the boilerplate text at the foot of every Help page in my Configuration Template. This produces 615 results for a commonly-used search term instead of the correct 11 for .chm.

Question: how do I modify the Configuration Template to tell ewriter not to index the boilerplate text?

Hi Mike,

eWriter uses the Zoom web indexer also used in WebHelp for search. You can exclude template components with the <!--ZOOMSTOP--> and <!--ZOOMRESTART--> switches. See here for details:
