Customize the Appearance of Selected Items in the Table of Contents

The appearance of selected items in the table of contents of WebHelp Classic output can be enhanced.

For example, to highlight the background of the selected item, follow these steps:

  1. Locate the toc.css file in the following directory:
    1. For DITA transformations: DITA_OT_DIR\plugins\com.oxygenxml.webhelp\oxygen-webhelp\resources\css.
    2. For DocBook transformations: [OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR]\frameworks\docbook\xsl\com.oxygenxml.webhelp\oxygen-webhelp\resources\css.
  2. Edit that CSS file, find the menuItemSelected class, and change the value of the background property.

Note

You can also overwrite the same value from your own custom CSS and then specify the path to your CSS in the transformation scenario (see step 3 in the Changing the Icons in a WebHelp Classic Table of Contents topic.
