I would like to perform some additional file handling/creation during the building/publish process and make use of the conditional build tags.
so, is it possible to create a plug-in for Robohelp or maybe run an external tool during the build/publish process.
Making use of the Conditional buildtags is essential.
Thank you for your help

You should look into the scripting support provided in RoboHelp 9. There you can do many things including file manipulation, SSL generation setting CBT's, and many more.
Please look @ http://help.adobe.com/en_US/RoboHelp/8.0/Scripting/robohelp_8_scripting.pdf
In Robohelp 9, there are many sample scripts provided to showcase the power of scripting in RoboHelp. It includes script to generate ePub output and eclipse Help Output, using scripting API only.
thanks

I'm making progress using the extedscripting.
The only thing I would like is that my script is fired upon publish.
So when you press the Generate button, you can fill out the following form,
And when you complete this, I would like to run my custom script.
Is this possible ?

Right now RoboHelp does not support running script on certain event like post publishing.
Instead you should create a script which can generate the specific ssl for you and then execute your custom code.
You should look into the sample script like ePub generator.jsx file which generate XML output ssl from script.

Hi,
Not that I know of. It would be a nice feature though.(You can submit feature request via http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&product=38)
You can do it the other way around: Create a script that generates the content and then does whatever you like it to do.
Greet,
Willam
