Adding links to other Galaxy tools in help section of a tool
Dear Galaxy development team, I have set up a customized instance of Galaxy at the University of Tuebingen, Germany. I wondered, if it is possible to add links to other Galaxy tools in the help section of a certain tool. This would make sense for tools that are applied successively in a workflow. Is it possible to add links to tools naturally preceeding or succeeding a certain tool in a workflow? This would make the workflow structure more obvious for the user.

Johannes As an example, you can use the following url http://www.yourgalaxy.org/tool_runner?tool_id=bed2gff1 in order to creat a link to the BED-to-GFF tool in "www.yourgalaxy.org" (or whatever your local url is) within the help section you can the write something like: <help> This tool allows you to do something ---- do nextstep_. .. _nextstep: http://www.yourgalaxy.org/tool_runner?tool_id=bed2gff1 </help> </tool> Regards, Hans On 09/02/2010 10:46 AM, Johannes Eichner wrote:
