HyperText Studio Action

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

This action creates a step to compile a HyperText Studio project file.  From the inputs, the HyperText Studio 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 5 of HyperText Studio and may also work with other versions.

 

hypertextStudio

 

Filename: Specifies the HyperText Studio project file to compile (required).

 

Targets: Specifies one or more targets to generate (optional, the default target is built if empty).  Select or enter a target in the drop-down list and click Insert to add; select a target in the grid and click Delete to remove.

 

Additional command-line options: This option can be used to specify additional flags to pass to the HyperText Studio compiler (optional).

 

Override compiler executable filename: If this field is empty, the action automatically locates the HyperText Studio command-line executable by finding the executable associated with the HyperText Studio project filename extension (.hts).  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.
