To get the whole thing running, take a look at the HelpTest.exe.config
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <appSettings> <add key="miktex-path" value="C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\"/> <add key="pandoc-path" value="C:\Projects\Help\Tools\"/> <add key="template-xml" value=".\template.xml"/> <add key="content-xml" value=".\NAV.xml" /> <add key="structure-xml" value=".\structure.xml"/> <add key="projectname" value="Demo Help"/> <add key="helppage-html" value=".\HelpPage.html"/> <add key="input-toc" value=".\input-toc.xml"/> <add key="output-toc" value=".\output\output-toc.xml"/> <add key="output-path-helpserver" value=".\output"/> <add key="output-path-manual" value=".\output"/> </appSettings> <startup> <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5" /> </startup> </configuration>
You need to install the following to be ready:
MikTex 2.9 http://miktex.org/download
Pandoc https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases
And update the paths in the config file
After this you need to update all the setup paths and xml files. These should point to the content from the ZIP file.
Running HelpTest.exe from a prompt should generate output that looks a bit like this: (This is the output from Foqus Finance)
