Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 15148
very bad layout in the help browser compared to 1.0.x

The layout of the contents in the help browser is much worse than in 1.0.x Instead of a sans serif font, a Times type font is used, indentations and other formatting is gone and the line spacing is much too big. It definitely makes the help more difficult to read. It looks like a failure to apply some kind of style sheet.
I forgot to tell that this is with the Dutch help content; I can see now that in the English help the layout is OK. Apparently the help browser is not compatible anymore with the help format of OOo 1.0.x. As the Dutch translation, although not complete, has already progressed to the point where it is of more use to many Dutch speakers than the English help, it's very important that it can be displayed correctly in OOo 1.1. So it would be great if either the help browser could be made to display the old format correctly as well, or if instructions can be given how to update our translated help files to the OOo 1.1 help browser format.
TM->HI: Sounds more like a help-issue than a framework-issue to me. Please have a look, thanks !
I already found a fix. Apparently the help browser in OOo 1.1 takes its style sheet from default.css, which is not present in the help files for OOo 1.0. If this file is copied from the English OOo 1.1 help files into the directory with the translated 1.0 help files, the layout in OOo 1.1 is OK.

It seems there went something wrong with the installation.
