44.6.3 Listing files to copy to the wrap directory

To list files for DITA2Go to copy to the wrap directory (for example):

[Automation]
WrapAndShip=Yes
; WrapCopyFiles = list of files to copy, separated by spaces
WrapCopyFiles = *.htm *.js

The file specifications you assign to WrapCopyFiles must be separated by spaces, but no spaces are allowed within a file specification. You can use wildcards in file specifications. File specifications can include absolute or relative paths to indicate where files should be copied from; the default is from the project directory, and relative paths are relative to the project directory. The destination is always the WrapPath directory; see §44.6.1 Specifying a wrap directory

Note:  WrapCopyFiles takes effect not only when WrapAndShip=Yes, but also when one of the following is true for the output type specified:

HTML Help: [Automation]CompileHelp=Yes

WinHelp: [Automation]CompileHelp=Yes

JavaHelp: [JavaHelpOptions]FTSCommand=path/to/indexer

Oracle Help: [OracleHelpOptions]FTSCommand=path/to/indexer

See §44.10 Gathering and processing Help-system files.

If no setting for WrapCopyFiles is present, certain files are copied by default from the project directory to the wrap directory. Table 44-1 lists the files that are copied by default for each output type.
