Platform Specific Differences

The DocumentIt Generate Documentation dialog has some

platform-specific features.

SystemBuild uses the standard Windows selection dialog to display an

output file name in the File name field. The Look in field displays the

working directory which will be the output directory for your generated

file. You can select any drive or directory for the generated file.

If you want more information on standard portions of the dialog, click the

question mark (?) icon on the dialog title bar, and then position the question

mark cursor over a field or icon and click. The Windows help for that field

will be displayed.

Depending on the template file used, the document can be either an ASCII

text file or an ASCII file with embedded word processor markup language

formatting commands. These commands are word processor specific.

Example templates are provided to support FrameMaker, Interleaf, and rich

text format (RTF), used by Microsoft Word and read by other programs.

Note A generated Microsoft Word file has the extension .doc. DocumentIt uses the

extension .rtf for real-time files which can be used with the autostar command as

described in the Generating Documentation from the OS section.
