Output Templates

VSdocman uses special files called templates to generate its output. Template defines a format of this output. VSdocman comes with some predefined templates for generating:

• Help 2 - the latest Microsoft help technology used in Visual Studio .NET, .HxS file. Old and new MSDN look.
• HTML Help 1.x - .CHM file. Old and new MSDN look.
• HTML - files with Java index and table of contents. Old and new MSDN look.
• RTF document
• Help & Manual - well-known help authoring system which can be perfectly used in conjunction with VSdocman.
  
• XML

However, user can define his own template to customize his output. It is possible to define almost any text based document. Simple macro language was developed to enable user to change output settings.
