This action creates a step to compile a DevHost Fast-Help project file.  From the inputs, the Fast-Help command-line is constructed and called when the action is built, and any log output is captured to the log view and file.

 

This action has been tested with version 4 of Fast-Help and may also work with other versions.

 

 

Project filename: Specifies the Fast-Help project file to compile (required).

 

Output formats: Indicates one or more output formats to generate (optional).

 

Additional command-line options: This option can be used to specify additional flags to pass to the Fast-Help compiler.  See 'Command line' in the Fast-Help help index for the available options.

 

Override compiler executable filename: If this field is empty, the action attempts to automatically locate the Fast-Help command-line executable.  This can be overridden by specifying the executable filename here.

 

Log the compiler command-line: Logs the command-line used to compile the help project. This can be useful for debugging purposes.
