- Take a look at htmlpp.htp, which is the documentation
source for htmlpp's own on-line documentation and comes with htmlpp.
This is the main example for htmlpp.
- The template.zip file that is supplied with htmlpp
contains the basis for a new project. Unzip this file into a
working directory. You'll find:
- template.txt - template for new documentation text
files.
- prelude.def - standard definitions - e.g. page header
and footer.
- contents.def - build table of contents.
- filetype.def - definitions for various file
types.
As a start, run htmlpp on template.txt:
C:\SOMEDIR\>htmlpp template.txt
This creates a set of HTML files (extension .htm). You can open
index.htm with a browser, and the links should work.
Then edit the source files using any text editor and modify them to your
will.
- In general, htmlpp generates HTML pages that use relative
addressing, so that pages refer to each other without
specifying a host or path. This allows you to test and use the
HTML pages on a local hard disk.
Htmlpp creates a file called errors.lst which
contains any errors. This file is useful if you are building
really large documentation kits, and messages scroll off the
screen.
The -debug command-line option is also userful to
see what htmlpp is doing with its passes:
htmlpp -debug filename
This leaves a number of
.wrk files lying around; these contain
the result of each pass, and allow you to debug your source code.
If you have problems, follow the instructions in the
support section.
