Template

I have business users using my templates to create their contents. They often have questions like which field to fill for content to be displayed in a certain way. I hav prepared a users guide for them. It describes each field of Template will go where on Web.
Now I want a attach this help document to each template (as relevant). for example. When a user opens template A, there should be a link called "Help" visible somewhere. When he clicks on "Help" the document A.HTML will open up. He can read it and fill content.
Is it possible to do?

Like have container "HELP" and when u click there instead it open doc in popup.
Or
Just next to Save..
Or
anywhere in template (in button form , Hyperlink form).

This is a key feature in TS 6.0. If I remember correctly, down to the field level. In 5.5x there is field level text displayed in the top frame. It is the description tag in your template.

I have Teamsite 5.5.2.1
I have tried something like this
<item name='Help'>
<label href="http://www.google.com">Help</label>
<description href="http://www.google.com">Click for help</description>
</item>

There is no way I am able to make any field Hyperlinked. Doing so does not give me a error but it does not show up on template as hyperlink.

Any suggestion !!

Very cool, you can get this to work. here is how....

<description><a href='http://www.boc.com' target='_blank'>here</a>Add a valid page name or URL</description>

Make sure you use the escape characters for the < < and > > as above. I tested it is 5.5 and it works. You also need the target.

If you want a solution that is more of a hack, you could use the example code I posted <a href="http://devnet.interwoven.com/forums/cgi-bin/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=PRODUCTS_TEMPLATING&Number=27622&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=0&part=">here</a>. It will replace the "generate" button (in the button frame) with a help button that you can have launch your special help. This is what we did when I had a similar requirement. Of course, this means you can't use the generate button to actually generate files, so I don't know if it will help you or not.

Just adding an option,
