Sample Help File for a Plugin

The first paragraph should describe the purpose of the plugin and explain why a user would want to add this plugin to a tool. The Hello World plugin is a sample plugin to demonstrate the how to set up an action and how to add a listener to the Project. The listener is notified when a project is opened and closed. The Hello World plugin implements the FrontEndable interface so that it becomes eligible to be added to the Ghidra Project Window, which is also a tool. Finally, it shows how to add a help URL to the action so that when the user presses the <F1> or <Help> key, this page will be displayed in the Ghidra Help Browser.

If the plugin pops up a dialog, the display elements and input fields should be explained in detail, as well as any resulting changes which may be made to the current program.

Note on the Style Sheet: This sample help file uses a style sheet that is consistent with Ghidra Help. Specify Frontpage.css as the style sheet for your help page if you would like to maintain the same "look and feel." The Frontpage.css file is in the help/shared/ directory.

Here are some sample bookmarks for the actions in the sample plugins (see the setupActions() method in ghidra.examples.KitchenSinkPlugin for how to specify a bookmark in the URL that is used as the help URL for the action):
