The online help system gives you context sensitive help while using Zope. Every Zope management screen has help. In addition to explaining the purpose and use of Zope management screens the help system includes an API Reference and a DTML Reference. The API Reference tells you how to script Zope objects from DTML and Python Methods. The DTML Reference gives you complete documentation of all DTML tags.

The DTML Reference and the API Reference have their own project areas.

To use the online help system, click the "Help" button on any Zope management screen. A new window will open displaying context-sensitive help. In the left frame you can browse and search help topics.

You can preview the Online Help System on Zope.org.

Status

10/31/2000 - The management screen help is complete and up to date for Zope 2.x.

Plan

The management screen help should slowly change to keep pace with Zope changes. No major changes to the architecture are expected.
