<h2 align="center">The 1 Minute Guide to Using Qt Assistant</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>Under Windows, <em>Qt Assistant</em> is available as a menu option on the Qt menu. On Unix, run <tt>assistant</tt> from an xterm.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>When you start up <em>Qt Assistant</em>, you will be presented with a standard main-window style application, with a menu bar and toolbar. Below these, on the left hand side is a navigation window called the <em>Sidebar</em>, and on the right, taking up most of the space, is the documentation window. By default, the Qt Reference Documentation's home page is shown in the documentation window.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><em>Qt Assistant</em> works in a similar way to a web browser. If you click underlined text (which signifies a cross-reference), the documentation window will present the relevant page. You can bookmark pages of particular interest and you can click the <b>Previous</b> and <b>Next</b> toolbar buttons to navigate within the pages you've visited.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Although <em>Qt Assistant</em> can be used just like a web browser to navigate through the Qt documentation set, <em>Qt Assistant</em> offers a powerful means of navigation that web browsers don't provide. <em>Qt Assistant</em> uses an intelligent algorithm to index all the pages in the documentation sets that it presents so that you can search for particular words and phrases.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To perform an index search, click the <b>Index</b> tab on the Sidebar (or click <b>Ctrl+I</b>). In the 'Look For' line edit enter a word, e.g. 'homedirpath'. As you type, words are found and highlighted in a list beneath the line edit. If the highlighted text matches what you're looking for, double click it, (or press <b>Enter</b>) and the documentation window will display the relevant page. You rarely have to type in the whole word before <em>Qt Assistant</em> finds a match. Note that for some words there may be more than one possible page that is relevant.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><em>Qt Assistant</em> also provides full text searching for finding specific words in the documentation. Documents with the highest occurrences of the word that you are looking for appear first, and every occurrence of the word within the documentation is highlighted.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><em>Qt Assistant</em> can be customized by creating profiles, a collection of documentation. Profiles can be created for your own use, or for an application you will distribute. With profiles, you can select which documentation you want the end user of your application to be able to view.</p>
