Content Authoring Options
You can choose to author content in JsDoc or Xml Format source comments, and/or using the Document! X Content File editor. This flexibility allows you to include basic documentation in the source code and use the rich Document! X Content File editor to author extended content (e.g. examples, tutorials, more detailed descriptions etc.).
Lightbox Content File Editor
In combination with, or as an alternative to authoring content in JSDoc or Xml format source code comments, create and maintain documentation content using the Document! X Content File Editor.
Lightbox Leverage JsDoc format source comments
Document! X will automatically use any JsDoc format source code comments and use them in the generated output.
Lightbox Leverage Xml format source comments
Document! X will automatically use any Microsoft xml format source code comments and use them in the generated output.
Lightbox Example Code Designer
A specific designer is included in the Content File Editor to make creating examples quick and easy. Paste example code or use existing code files (or named regions within them) as your source.
Lightbox Automatically Generated Syntax
Document! X will automatically generate a Syntax and Usage section in member pages. Regular Javascript syntax, or a specific syntax for jQuery libraries and widgets is output as appropriate.
Single Source Build and Publish
Your documentation projects can be built to Browser Help or CHM (Html Help 1.x). The specific requirements for the different output formats are handled for your automatically and you can build all output formats from a single project. Automatic publishing makes it quick and simple to deploy the generated output to your web site, ftp server or network location.
Lightbox Browser Help
Browser Help output is viewable directly in the web browser, so is the ideal format for publishing documentation on a web site or intranet site. The browser help output includes a Table of Contents, Index and Full Text Search.
Lightbox Tablet and Mobile Support
The automatically generated responsive support allows you to generate a single output that automatically adapts to the device profile; delivering an optimal browsing experience for Desktop, Tablet and Mobile from a single output. Tablet and Mobile devices benefit from buttonized links, a button based fly out Table of Contents and other automatic features that dramatically improve the end user experience.
Lightbox Html Help 1.x (CHM)
Html Help 1.x (CHM) is the Microsoft Windows compiled help file format. When building to CHM, the output is a single file that can be deployed to, and viewed on, any machine with Windows installed. The CHM viewer includes a Table of Contents, Index and Full Text Search.
Lightbox Publish to network path, ftp, Azure and IIS
Your built documentation can be automatically published to a range of locations; a network path, ftp server, Azure web site or IIS (Internet Information Services) Server. Publishing recongizes which files have changed in the last build, so publishing is quick and minimizes network traffic.
Lightbox Community Features
The generated output can be automatically integrated with a range of Community Providers (Facebook, Disqus, Livefyre or SolidOpinion) allowing you to include rich community features in your help systems.
