Customizing the Header and Footer

In the transformation scenario, you can use the args.hdr and args.ftr parameters to point to resources that contain your custom HTML <div> blocks. These are included in the header and footer of each generated topic.

As a practical example, to hide the horizontal separator line between the content and footer, follow these steps:
  1. Create a custom CSS file that contains the following snippet: 
    .footer_separator {
  display:none;
}
  2. Edit the WebHelp transformation scenario and open the Parameters tab.
    1. For a DITA transformation, set the args.css parameter to the path of your custom CSS file. Also, set the args.copycss parameter to yes to automatically copy your custom CSS in the output folder when the transformation scenario is processed.
    2. For a DocBook transformation, set the html.stylesheet parameter to the path of your custom CSS file.
  3. Run the transformation scenario.
