So, my guide contains images and descriptions for three variations of one product, so I have conditional tags through the guide for "HEADCOUNT", "IDENTIPARK" and "TRAFFIC". My target output needs to be in both PDF (for download) and HTML (for bundling in a webapp), so instead of doing this rather long-winded process through the GUI, I figured three CLI commands would be way simpler. Thing is, I'm having some trouble with missing output files with the WebHelp output type.. Can't seem to find any obvious configuration issues here and everything appears to be really simple, so I'm very lost at the moment.
To use one of these output When I publish through the interface, I have the following options set (for clarity I'm not going to trim folder paths):
- Format: WebHelp
- Index page: D:\Software Manuals - H&M\Reporting Platform\HTML\Traffic\index.html
- Select Skin: D:\Software Manuals - H&M\Common Files\Integrated IFrames with Header - Reporting Platform.hmskin
- Include Options
- WebHelp
- TRAFFIC
From what I found in the documentation, the following CLI command (run from within my project folder) should yield the same output results as that set above:
Code: Select all
HELPMAN.EXE "Reporting Platform - User Guide.hmxz" /HTML="HTML\Traffic2\index.html" /O="D:\Software Manuals - H&M\Common Files\Integrated IFrames with Header - Reporting Platform.hmskin" /I=TRAFFIC
When running this, I get the following command line output:
Code: Select all
Help & Manual command line compiler version 6.5.5 build 3019

Doing a comparison of the folders shows 10 files missing from the CLI output folder (Beyond Compare, showing only orphaned files):
What on earth am I doing wrong here..?
