Customizing the Generated Documentation
You can customize DocumentIt-generated output documentation to suit
your specific needs by using templates. Template files are ASCII files
containing text, interspersed with template command parameters that
specify DocumentIt output.
In addition to template command parameters, template files can also use
publishing software markup commands—for example, Microsoft Word
RTF, Interleaf markup, and FrameMaker MML commands—which
DocumentIt writes directly to the ASCII output file. The markup
commands automatically format the document when it is imported into the
corresponding publishing software.
For details about how to use TPL for DocumentIt output, refer to the
Template Programming Language User Guide.
