Creating Help Targets

 

In Doc-To-Help, Help Targets are the final output of your project. You can generate the following outputs with Doc-To-Help:

      NetHelp

      HTML Help

      Mobile Help

      EPUB

      Eclipse Help

      JavaHelp

      WinHelp

      Manual (Printed or Online)

      Microsoft Help Viewer

      Microsoft Help 2.0

 

The Help Targets dialog box is used to specify the targets that you would like to create and specify key settings for each output. You may create more than one output of a specific type — for example; you could have two different HTML Help outputs, one for “Administrator HTML Help” and one for “Manager HTML Help.” Simply add those targets to the list and configure each as you wish. To make the text in each unique, use conditional text and variables.

 

For details on building targets, see Building a Help Target.
