-Gr+The embedded documentation of GroIMP is based on the docbook format with the htmlhelp template. 
 +The docbook file must be created in src/main/resources/manual.xml.  
 +There are several docbook editors available online. 
 +With GroIMP 2.1.4 it is also possible to use a markdown file as a source of documentation, this file is then turned in to a docbook file and forwarded to the normal pipeline.  
 +A documentation on the Markdown based approach can be found [[dev-guide:markdownDoku|here]].
  
 +The compilation including the embedded help is described [[maintainer-guide:making-a-groimp-maven#compile_with_help_panel|here]]
  
 +The linking of the embedded documentation  to the help buttons of the panels is explained [[dev-guide:linking-help-button|here]]

 +===== Linking a Template ===== 
 + 
 +Similar to the examples a FilterSourceFactory can be used to add new templates. Templates are the files that can be selected by creating a new project 'File/new/...'.  
 +To add a gsz file stored in 'src/main/resources' as a template it must be  added in the template directory:  
 + 
 +<code xml> 
 +  <ref name="ui"> 
 + <ref name="templates"> 
 + <FilterSourceFactory name="myTemplate"> 
 + <resource name="my_template.gsz"/> 
 + </FilterSourceFactory> 
 + </ref> 
 +  </ref> 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +Additionally the name shown in the menu can be set in the properties file.
