  1. when you write:
    “You should backup your local HelpInsight.xsl file and then extract the downloaded zip file to the corresponding location.”

    Do you mean backup your local HelpInsight.css? The zip file does not contain a HelpInsight.xsl

    1. I’m sorry that I may not say so clear. The zip file contains a folder (HelpInsight) and a file named HelpInsight.xsl. You need to extract all of them to the corresponding location. So you should override the old HelpInsight.xsl.

    1. The most possible reason is that Help Insight can’t find the css file. Please open your $(BDS)\ObjRepos ($(BDS)\ObjRepos\en in D2010 or higher) folder, and then ensure the following files/directories exist:

      HelpInsight.xsl
      HelpInsight folder
      HelpInsight\Configurations.xml
      HelpInsight\HelpInsight.css
      HelpInsight\Icons\*.*

      You might not extract the files in the zip file into the correct location.

      In addition, I have updated the template to solve the encoding issue. Please download the V0.9.2
      Thanks for your report!

  2. This is the best modification to CodeInsight I’ve ever seen! I’m just wondering if you’d have any objection to me bunlding this in with my RADPlates plugin, along with a simple menu option to switch between the DevJet and original seamlessly.

    Thanks!
