<h2>Active help</h2>
<p>Active help is the ability to invoke Eclipse code from on-line
documentation. It is implemented by including some JavaScript in your
documentation that describes a class that should be run inside the Eclipse
platform. </p>
<p>For example, instead of writing, "Go to the Window Menu and open the
message dialog," your on-line help can include a link that will open your
application's message dialog for the user. Active help links look like hyperlinks in
the on-line help.</p>
<p>Below is an active help link that opens the cheatsheet "Check out a CVS project".
We will take a look at how to create and reference your own actions.</p>
<p><a href='javascript:liveAction(
"org.eclipse.ui.cheatsheets",
"org.eclipse.ui.cheatsheets.OpenCheatSheetFromHelpAction",
"org.eclipse.platform.cvs.checkout")'>Open a cheatsheet.</a></p>
