We’ve also improved the topic editor’s popup menu to display all available paste actions, such as “Paste as text” and “Paste special”. This behavior can now be changed by holding the CTRL keyboard shortcut: any previously applied style will be reset before applying the new style, thus saving valuable time to define content format. When applying a style to the selected content, any overridden text style are kept and merged with the new style. HelpNDoc supports default topic properties for newly created topics, such as defining a default icon, topic kind, header and footer… It is now possible to define a snippet as the default topics’ content.Ī new option is available to display library items smaller: instead of displaying a large box, “documents”, “snippets” and “HTML code” library items can now optionally be displayed as a smaller boxes to avoid using too much space in the topic editor. □ Topics do not have to start blank: use snippets as the default topics’ content Note: This feature is only available in the Ultimate Edition of HelpNDoc. We can’t wait to see how technical writers will use this truly unique feature to strengthen their documentation generation process. The possibilities are endless! And did I mention that additional actions are scheduled to be released in future update of HelpNDoc ? □ Running a custom script to create an external file with a list of generated topics Įach build can have its own set of post-build actions.Running a custom script to update the project’s comment to include the last build date and time.Displaying some useful stats and details about the project in the generation log. ![]() Notifying coworkers about important documentation deployment requirements by displaying a custom modal message.These actions make it possible to implement a wide range of scenarios, such as: Custom message – Display a custom message (modal or not) after the build generation process.Custom script execution – Run a script after a build has been generated using the available HelpNDoc’s API methods.The first batch of post-build actions include: And it is now possible to execute multiple actions after each build has been generated. HelpNDoc can generate multiple builds out of a single documentation project. ![]()
