Actor Documentation from website is rendered as plain text instead of in a doc viewer.

Under Mac OS X, the actor documentation that is downloaded from the website is not rendered.

  1. install bcvtb-install-mac64-v1.6.0.jar
  2. In the Finder, browse to /Applications/bcvtb/bin and click on bcvtb
  3. File -> New
  4. From Actors->Sources->GenericSources, drag in a Const actor
  5. Right click and select Documentation->GetDocumentation
  6. Click on "Use Website"
  7. The xml of the downloaded file is displayed in plain text instead of the documentation being rendered in a documentation viewer.

However, if, in a full Ptolemy II development tree, I run

$PTII/bin/vergil -bcvtb

and do the above, then the docs are rendered.

I'm fairly certain that this functionality comes from the following line in ptolemy/configs/extendedEffigyFactories.xml

It looks like in the PTII tree, ptolemy/configs/bcvtb/configuration.xml includes that file with:

I'm not sure why the docs are not being rendered by the installer version.
