I am trying to create a help system for a suite of
products and I am running into a few snags.

Because some of the products use windows and others
use solaris (though they will be configurable though a
web based common admin), we are going to use web works
publisher help. By doing this, we hope to take
advantage of single sourcing and no longer have one
set of writers responsible for online documentation
and another set writing print versions.

My problem is that I am not able to create a viable
wwp template.

I have been trying to create separate paragraph tags
for online content and use conditional text to
separate online_only and online_and_print text from
the rest of the content?

The problem

1. I have to duplicate headers (i.e. heading1 and
help.heading1) and I am not sure how to create an
online TOC that is independent of the Frame TOC.

2. The wwp template needs a level of formatting that I
am not able to complete with my limited knowledge of
the product.

Does anyone have any advice?
