16.2.1 Specifying additional processing after conversion

When you set up a new Help project, DITA2Go includes a few postprocessing settings in your newly created configuration file.

Some Help systems require running additional programs after files are converted from DITA: either to compile the output (WinHelp or HTML Help), or to create a search index (JavaHelp or Oracle Help). When you first set up a DITA2Go project to generate one of these Help systems, you can include an option to have DITA2Go run the additional program after conversion.

WinHelp, HTML Help

For a WinHelp or HTML Help project, add the following settings to your configuration file:

[Automation]
CompileHelp = Yes
WrapAndShip = Yes

JavaHelp, Oracle Help

For JavaHelp or Oracle Help, include the following setting in your new configuration file:

[Automation]
WrapAndShip = Yes

OmniHelp, Eclipse Help

For OmniHelp or Eclipse Help, include the following setting:

[Automation]
WrapAndShip = Yes

If CompileHelp=Yes or WrapAndShip=Yes, after generating output files DITA2Go copies distributable files to the directory designated by WrapPath (or in the case of JavaHelp or Oracle Help, a directory structure under the directory designated by WrapPath). If you want your final Help files to go somewhere other than subdirectory _wrap, change the value of WrapPath in your configuration file. See §16.2.2 Compiling and distributing Help systems.
