PS3 XMB Offline Documentation Tool

how to solve more than 1500 characters? mine is more than 1500, after I try it only shows a white screen.

The size limitation is due the maximum size of the internal URL buffer in the module_action of the XMB's XML.

I think 1500 is the size limit for <url> in LINK.XML

If you call an URL to a local script file or an online file, the script size can be larger and even it can include embedded images, although they can be hosted externally too due this method already relies on a web server (online or webman).

For instance, the help file used by webMAN MOD is 19KB. It is based on the xmb offline documentation in this page.

It's called from the XMB like this:
Code:
<T key="webman_help">
<P key="icon"><>/dev_hdd0//game/XMBMANPLS/USRDIR/IMAGES/webman.png</></P>
<P key="title"><>PS3 webMAN MOD [Help]</></P>
<P key="module_name"><>webrender_plugin</></P>
<P key="module_action"><>http://0/help.html</></P>
</T>

you can try to abbreviate some stuff and use tinypng.com to save space if you use a logo, but its pita, i have some with more than 1500 characteres and works good, you need to try over and over or use a html instead

I already told you how in the post #21. If it shows a blank screen it could be due a syntax error in the script.

For the images you should add: \74img src="http://0/path-to-image.png"\76
or embed the image data like it is done for the logo in your webman.html

Instead of place the code into the XML, you link the file using:
<P key="module_action"><>http://0/webman.html</></P>

Thank you for the tips, i added the embed images just fine, \74img src="http://0/path-to-image.png"\76 didn't work for me, but after analyzing your donation link

<a href=\'http://www.paypal.me/aldostools\' style=font-family:arial;font-size:28px;color:#ff0><center>http://www.paypal.me/aldostools</center></a>

I realized the problem, now it works =)

\74img src=\'http://0/path-to-image.png\'\76
 
@aldostools if you want to update the help.html feel free to use it.

I also added a QR code to your paypal as the link does not work in the ps3 web browser.
