Publish multiple documents to html5 single zip file

New Here ,
Jun 14, 2023 Jun 14, 2023

I have a series of separate documents that we want to publish to HTML5. I need to be able to deliver them in a single zip file. To make this work, do I need to combine these documents into a single FM file (a very long one) and then generate the zip?

Hi,

What does a single zip file mean?

You can create several HTML5 projects (several separate folders) and zip them in a single zip file.

Probably not what you mean.

Or you can create a book with the separate files and then convert this to HTML5 and then zip this folder.

Just do some tests. The conversion is very fast.

Best regards, Winfried

Thanks Winfried,

Currently we are using ClickHelp (like RoboHelp) to create some of our online documentation. It allows us to create separate documents but compile all of the html and associated files (css, etc) into a single zip file that our developers then use in our applications. 
Just didn't know if anyone else has run into this when moving from other tools to producing content only in FM.

You would have to do what Winfried suggests externally of FM - even RoboHelp doesn't do that - you still have to either zip up the output folder (containing all the project's output) and distribute that OR create a self-extracting .exe of the output folder using another tool like WinRAR.
