pacman1176 1 Posted January 18, 2012 I'm doing a senior project, and we'd really like to find out what type of software tools AutoIt uses to create their helpfile. It is the cleanest, most awesome helpfile I've probably ever read. Does anybody here know? 1 mLipok reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
water 2,388 Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) The UDF help files are created this way: The function header files are extracted from the UDF file by a script named "BuildTemplates", a script named "Txt2htm" then creates the html help files. I don't know how the CHM files are then created from this html files. The formating of the html help files is controlled by CSS templates.

Valik 478 Posted January 19, 2012 The function header files are extracted from the UDF file by a script named "BuildTemplates", a script named "Txt2htm" then creates the html help files.This is no longer true. The function headers are out of date and will be removed at some point. The TXT files are maintained directly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Homes32 3 Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) don't know how up2date this all is but here is some source code for the tools. last updated Dec 12, 2011http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/files/beta/autoit/autoit-docs-v3.3.7.23-src.exe Edited January 19, 2012 by Homes32 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AdmiralAlkex 125 Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) don't know how up2date this all is but here is some source code for the tools. last updated Dec 12, 2011http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/files/beta/autoit/autoit-docs-v3.3.7.23-src.exeWrong folder, 7.23 is in the beta (parent folder), not beta archive. And then there is the question why you would try to link someone to a old version instead of the current.Archive > autoit-docs-v3.3.8.0-src.exe (seventh from top) Edited January 19, 2012 by AdmiralAlkex .Some of my scripts: ShiftER, Codec-Control, Resolution switcher for HTC ShiftSome of my UDFs: SDL UDF, SetDefaultDllDirectories, Converting GDI+ Bitmap/Image to SDL Surface Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mat 376 Posted January 20, 2012 I am a huge fan of doxygen, and use it in several projects. Though from what you say you are less concerned about how the docs are generated and more concerned with their looks... Which *shouldn't* have anything to do with the generation itself. Doxygen I know allows for you to specify CSS files etc. AutoIt Project Listing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sajen 0 Posted February 28, 2012 I think we can also compile CHM files using HTML Help Workshop. It takes HTML files for input. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
