Page structure

6. Page structure
Use this section to configure the structure of the page. Turn on/off the menu, the keyword index tab and activate the full text search function.
 
If you select check box Always keep header and footer viewable it means that the height of the online manual will be automatically adjusted to fit to the height of the browser window. The header, footer and sidebars will be docked to the browser edges while the central content part will remain scrollable. This resembles the behavior of a CHM file.
 
Select check box Pop-up tooltips over clickable areas to enable pop-up tooltips that will be displayed when the cursor points at the bullet on the screenshot picture. The tooltips may include the associated control description, so that the user doesn't have to scroll down the page to read it.
Note: the Print version option is available for HTML export only.
