In the Project Manger you can mange your project files and divide your project into modules. The Project Manger consists of three main parts:
- Toolbar buttons
- Shortcut menu
- File folder and columns
You can include source files in your project by using include directives in C/C++ and Delphi source code (such as #include "File.h" or {INC File.inc}) and you can include text files in a topic using the <include File.txt> or the <include File.h> tag.
- Right-click in the Project Manager.
- Point to Manage Other.
- Do one of the following:
- Select Add Source Include Paths, to add the paths to included source files to your project.
- Select Topic Include Paths, to add the path to included topic and plain text files to your project.
- When you insert images in topic text either using the Editor or the <image _file_> tag, you must store them in one of your image directories or add the directory on this page.
- Right-click in the Project Manager.
- Point to Manage Other.
- Do one of the following:
- Select Add Image Path to current Configuration, to add the image path only to the current configuration.
- Select Add Image Path, to add the image path to all configurations.
- If you insert images that are not stored in one of your image directories Doc-O-Matic can not detect them and reports an error in the Message Pane.
- Project databases are stored as .doxdb files. They contain all topic IDs of a project and a list of targets for the output formats and uses them to link to other projects.
- Right-click in the Project Manager.
- Point to Manage Other.
- Select Add Project Database.
- Find the project database you want to add to your project.
- Doc-O-Matic includes three prepared Link Databases, one MFC, one .NET SDK Framework and one VCL link database. If you use these databases Doc-O-Matic can create links into Help systems of the MFC, .NET SDK and VCL automatically.
NotesYou can use path macros to make project paths independent of other used files. For more information see Path Macros.
