Custom (source) and target templates for PDF output
Posted: Sat Dec 23, 2017 4:39 am
Hello... Few quotes from D2H online documentation, and few appended questions. My objective is to use own custom corp. template, as both source and target.
Thank you.
“You should always create your documents with the source templates provided by Doc-To-Help and edit the source document as desired; this will guarantee full Doc-To-Help functionality.”
“You can create your own custom source templates. If you do this, it is recommended that you make copies of an existing Doc-To-Help template to edit rather than creating a template from scratch. This is because Doc-To-Help templates use several proprietary styles and bookmarks to ensure that your output builds correctly.”
“If you use Doc-To-Help to create custom templates for these documents rather than using Doc-To-Help's standard templates. It is recommended that you make copies of an existing Doc-To-Help template to edit rather than creating a template from scratch. This is because Doc-To-Help templates use several proprietary styles and bookmarks to ensure that your output builds correctly.”
My queries:
- What features are embedded in a D2H template that would be compromised? And how to avoid losing them?
- If using custom source template, could it be specified as the target template? There is no cause why should one use two different looking templates, unless building multiple PDF targets of different styling.
Thank you.
