I can't find any information about the purpose of the XML output. What is it for? Where can I find information about what its purpose and use is?

Hi Margaret

To this point we have largely ignored XML. I believe to this point it was really for folks that wanted to produce a DocBook or DITA type format.

But recently Adobe has been working on a script that brings new importance to the XML output format. The script converts your help content into a format called ePubs. ePubs format is viewable on many different devices. Phones, eBook readers, etc.

You may read more about this at the following blog post:

OK. I'm not getting it. I followed the instructions in the blog post, but nothing with the extension .epub was created. What can I be missing?
