#### 19.2.3 Customizing OmniHelp viewer control files

Table 19-1 lists the OmniHelp viewer control files. Files that have names that start with oh are for HTML output. Files with names that start with ox are for XHTML. In Table 19-1, the names of these files are shown as starting with o?. All other files listed are included in both archives.

To customize OmniHelp, you can edit control files marked Yes under Edit? in Table 19-1. If you are a JavaScript expert, you can also edit .js files marked No. Edit control files only if necessary.

If you intend to undertake extensive customization and distribute the results to third parties, you will also need the files in the following directory:

%OMSYSHOME%\common\system\omnihelp\ohvd2g

Copy all files from this directory to the following location:

%OMSYSHOME%\common\local\omnihelp\ohvd2g

Modify only the files in the local directory; those in the system directory will be overwritten every time you update DITA2Go.
