    <title>Introduction</title>
    <para>A common requirement for technical publications groups is to produce a Web-based help
      format that includes a table of contents pane, a search feature, and an index similar to what
      you get from the Microsoft HTML Help (.chm) format or Eclipse help. If the content is help for
      a Web application that is not exposed to the Internet or requires that the user be logged in,
      then it is impossible to use services like Google to add search. <indexterm class="singular">

      <title>Adding support for other (non-CJKV) languages</title>
      <para>To support stemming for a language, the search mechanism requires a stemmer implemented
        in both Java and JavaScript. The Java version is used by the indexer and the JavaScript
        verison is used to stem the user's input on the search form. Currently the search mechanism
        supports stemming for English and German. In addition, Java stemmers are included for the
        following languages. Therefore, to support these languages, you only need to implement the
        stemmer in JavaScript and add it to the template. If you do undertake this task, please
        consider contributing the JavaScript version back to this project and to <ulink

      <para role="summary">Overview design of Search mechanism.</para>
      <para>The serching is a fully client-side implementation of querying texts for content
        searching. There's no server involved. So, the search queries by the users are processed by
        JavaScript inside the browser, and displays the matching results by comparing the query with
        a simplified 'index' that too resides in JavaScript. Mainly the search mechanism has two
        parts. <itemizedlist>
          <listitem>
            <para>Indexing: First we need to traverse the content in
              the docs folder and index the words in it. This is done
              by <filename>webhelpindexer.jar</filename> in
                <filename>xsl/extentions/</filename> folder. You can
              invoke it by <code>ant index</code> command from the
              root of webhelp of directory. The source of
              webhelpindexer is now moved to it's own location at
                <filename>trunk/xsl-webhelpindexer/</filename>.
              Checkout the Docbook trunk svn directory to get this
              source. Then, do your changes and recompile it by simply
              running <code>ant</code> command. My assumption is that
              it can be opened by Netbeans IDE by one click. Or if you
              are using IntelliJ Idea, you can simply create a new
              project from existing sources. Indexer has extensive
              support for features such as word scoring, stemming of
              words, and support for languages English, German,
              French. For CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) languages,
              it uses bi-gram tokenizing to break up the words (since
              CJK languages does not have spaces between
              words).</para>
            <para> When <code>ant index</code> is run, it generates five output files: <itemizedlist>
                <listitem>
                  <para><filename>htmlFileList.js</filename> - This contains an array named
                      <code>fl</code> which stores details all the files indexed by the indexer.
                    Further, the doStem in it defines whether stemming should be used. It defaults
                    to false.</para>
                </listitem>
                <listitem>
                  <para><filename>htmlFileInfoList.js</filename> -
                    This includes some meta data about the indexed
                    files in an array named <code>fil</code>. It
                    includes details about file name, file (html)
                    title, a summary of the content. Format would look
                    like, <code>fil["4"]= "ch03.html@@@Developer
                      Docs@@@This chapter provides an overview of how

                    actually stores the index of the content. Index is added to an array named
                      <code>w</code>.</para>

                    punctuations and common words, do stemming if docbook language supports it,
                    etc.</para>

                      <code>stemmer</code> method in this file for stemming. ex: <code>var stem =
                      stemmer(foobar);</code>

        <title>New Stemmers</title>
        <para role="summary">Adding new Stemmers is very simple.</para>
        <para>Currently, only English, French, and German stemmers are integrated in to WebHelp. But
          the code is extensible such that you can add new stemmers easily by few steps.</para>
        <para>What you need: <itemizedlist>
            <listitem>
              <para>You'll need two versions of the stemmer; One written in JavaScript, and another
                in Java. But fortunately, Snowball contains Java stemmers for number of popular
                languages, and are already included with the package. You can see the full list in
                  <ulink url="ch02s04.html">Adding support for other (non-CJKV) languages</ulink>.
                If your language is listed there, Then you have to find javascript version of the
                stemmer. Generally, new stemmers are getting added in to <ulink
                  url="http://snowball.tartarus.org/otherlangs/index.html">Snowball Stemmers in
                  other languages</ulink> location. If javascript stemmer for your language is
                available, then download it. Else, you can write a new stemmer in JavaScript using
                SnowBall algorithm fairly easily. Algorithms are at <ulink
                  url="http://snowball.tartarus.org/">Snowball</ulink>. </para>
            </listitem>
            <listitem>
              <para>Then, name the JS stemmer exactly like this:
                  <filename>{$language-code}_stemmer.js</filename>.
                For example, for Italian(it), name it as,
                  <filename>it_stemmer.js</filename>. Then, copy it to
                the
                  <filename>docbook-webhelp/template/search/stemmers/</filename>
                folder. (I assumed
                  <filename>docbook-webhelp</filename> is the root
                folder for webhelp.) <note>
                  <para>Make sure you changed the
                      <code>webhelp.indexer.language</code> property
                    in <filename>build.properties</filename> to your
                    language. </para>
                </note>
              </para>
            </listitem>
            <listitem>
              <para>Now two easy changes needed for the indexer.</para>
              <itemizedlist>
                <listitem>

                    in a text editor and add your language code to the
                      <code>supportedLanguages</code> String Array. </para>
                  <example>
                    <title>Add new language to supportedLanguages array</title>
                    <para> change the Array from,

                    and add the following line to the code where it initializes the Stemmer (Search
                    for <code>SnowballStemmer stemmer;</code>). Then add code to initialize the
                    stemmer Object in your language. It's self understandable. See the example. The
                    class names are at:

                    <title>Initialize correct stemmer based on the
                        <code>webhelp.indexer.language</code> specified</title>
                    <programlisting>
      SnowballStemmer stemmer;
      if(indexerLanguage.equalsIgnoreCase("en")){

      } else if (indexerLanguage.equalsIgnoreCase("de")){
          stemmer= new GermanStemmer();
      } else if (indexerLanguage.equalsIgnoreCase("fr")){
          stemmer= new FrenchStemmer();
      }
<emphasis>else if (indexerLanguage.equalsIgnoreCase("it")){ //If language code is "it" (Italian)
          stemmer= new italianStemmer();  //Initialize the stemmer to <code>italianStemmer</code> object.

            </listitem>
          </itemizedlist>
        </para>
        <para>That's all. Now run <code>ant build-indexer</code> to compile and build the java code.
          Then, run <code>ant webhelp</code> to generate the output from your docbook file. For any

        <question>
          <para>On what browsers and operating systems WebHelp has tested extensively?</para>
        </question>
        <answer>
          <para>We tested it with versions of most browsers including Firefox 3.x+, IE 7+, Chrome,
            Safari, and iPod/iPhone. The JavaScript codes are mostly jquery plugins, so you’d want
            to check the jquery support matrix for details.</para>
