FAQPage Schema
How do I add built-in help to 1C objects like processors and reports?

To add built-in help to 1C objects, run the add-help script against objects under your project's src directory. This generates Ext/Help.xml and localized HTML pages while updating form metadata.

What is Ext/Help.xml used for in 1C enterprise development?

Ext/Help.xml in 1C enterprise development defines the built-in help structure for objects. It contains Page entries for specific languages and links to corresponding HTML files for end-user assistance.

Can I generate multilingual HTML help pages for 1C catalogs and documents?

Yes, you can generate multilingual HTML help pages for 1C catalogs and documents by passing the Lang parameter. This creates Help/<Lang>.html files like ru.html for localized in-context assistance.

Does adding help to 1C objects automatically update form metadata?

Yes, adding help to 1C objects optionally updates form metadata. The script patches forms to set IncludeHelpInContents to true, exposing the newly generated help pages directly within the forms.

Do I need lxml installed to generate Help.xml files for 1C objects?

Yes, you need lxml installed to generate Help.xml files for 1C objects. The add-help.py script depends on lxml to parse and patch the XML metadata structures required for built-in help.
