44.9 Gathering files for an
HTML project: an example
Suppose your file structure looks like this:
D:\AllDocs\CSS CSS files for all HTML projects
D:\MyDoc DITA files, projects file
D:\MyDoc\Graphics Graphics
D:\MyDoc\HTML DITA2Go output files and project configuration file
And you want the files for your HTML project assembled
as follows:
D:\MyDoc\HTML\_wrap HTML files should be copied here
D:\MyDoc\HTML\_wrap\images Graphics files should be copied here
D:\MyDoc\HTML\_wrap\styles CSS files should be copied here
Your projects file (.prj, in D:\MyDoc with your DITA
files) would specify D:\MyDoc\HTML as the path
for DITA2Go to use for output. D:\MyDoc\HTML is also where
your project configuration file is located.
To get all the files where you want them, in the configuration
file you would specify the following:
Section
|
Setting
|
[Automation]
|
WrapPath=.\_wrap
|
A location relative to the project directory. You
could just as well use the absolute path: WrapPath=D:\MyDoc\HTML\_wrap.
Notice the backslashes here, which are required for Windows.
|
CopyCssFrom=D:\AllDocs\CSS
|
Where to find the CSS files for this project. Path
separators are backslashes.
|
CopyGraphicsFrom=D:\MyDoc\Graphics
|
Where to find graphics for this project. Path separators
are backslashes.
|
GraphCopyFiles=*.jpg *.gif
|
Files you want from the CopyGraphicsFrom directory.
|
[CSS]
|
CssPath=.\styles
|
Where CSS files should be relative to the HTML files
that use them (that is, relative to the WrapPath directory).
DITA2Go converts backslashes to forward slashes before writing
these references in the HTML files.
|
[Graphics]
|
GraphPath=.\images
|
Where the graphics should be relative to the HTML
files that reference them (that is, relative to the WrapPath directory).
DITA2Go converts backslashes to forward slashes before writing
these references in the HTML files.
