Scripting Examples
The following list highlights a few of the ways you can use scripts to customize and integrate the content publication process:
You can write scripts to get the latest version of files from your version control product or content management system. For more information, see “CVS Version Control Checkout Example” on page 314.
You can use variables within scripts. For more information, see “Scripting Variables” on page 311 and “Using Scripting Variables Example” on page 313.
You can customize the log file created when ePublisher runs a job. For more information, see “Show Time and Date Example” on page 312 and “Using Scripting Variables Example” on page 313.
You can use post-processing scripts to customize the deployment process. These scripts can modify files and even rebuild the final deliverable. For example, you can use scripts to further customize the generated files and then automatically run Microsoft HTML Help Workshop to rebuild the .chm file.
