Hi,

Document! X 2008. Generating for C#.

Beware..I'm new to DocX. I have about 100 htmls files that I need to embed with the generated class content. How can I have them display with a similar look and feel as the auto-generated class content and DCX content?

I know I can assign a template to DCX files. Can I do the same for HTML files? If yes, how do I do this?

Or, do I need to use a CSS? If CSS, where should the CSS reside when I create a link to it in the HTML files (same directory as HTMLs?)

Thanks.

  You can add Additional Files that have been authored manually to the ‘Additional Files’ page in the Document! X project editor, and then modify the Table of Contents to include Nodes for the additional files. You could also add new page layouts and related content types to have these pages available in every project using your custom template. The traditional Help Authoring capabilities of Document! X are by design limited in order to concentrate on the reference and automation documentation aspects.

  For a rich Help Authoring environment we offer our HelpStudio product which includes a comprehensive set of functionality for creating additional help content. HelpStudio integrates with Document! X - you include a placeholder on the HelpStudio Table of Contents identifying where you want the Document! X content included and HelpStudio produces a complete help system including both the Document! X content and the topics and glossary you have authored in HelpStudio. In addition, HelpStudio includes the Document! X member tree on it’s hyperlink designer dialog which makes it simple to create links from your HelpStudio content to Document! X generated topics.

  For the benefit of anyone coming across this post, a full suite of functionality for adding additional conceptual topics was introduced in our 2010 release - as well as complete integration with HelpStudio in our 2011 release (for Glossary Authoring, Content Snippets etc.).
