Can I generate HTML5 output from a script/command line?

[Paul_N]

I have Flare 12 on Win 7.

I'm creating HTML5 user assistance for a web based application, and the developers want to automatically generate a copy of the help every night, when they regenerate the application. Having me manually generate output doesn't cut the mustard any more.

I guess they need to be able to run Flare from a batch file/script from a command line. The Flare project is in a SVN repo.

Can anyone point me at a source of information for doing this?

Yes. Use madbuild.

Excellent, thanks. I'll try that out tomorrow with the devs.

Make sure you understand their script. Build order in a multi-component system can be a little tricky. For example, you may need to build some child projects first to get the current version called up by the parent.
