HTML Publishing - Control of Extent
« on: October 09, 2009, 08:42:57 pm »
HTML publishing is good at present but not very flexible. For starters it is predicated on publishing from a single root node. This causes 2 potential problems:-
    * Dependencies / things outside the root are lost in the documentation
    * It means anything not required to be published has to be moved to another root node outside the publishing hierarchy

It makes it very difficult to use sensibly on a large repository of models.

It would be nice to be able to:-
    * select the depth of publishing
    * be able to follow links outside the publishing root to a specified level (in the same way that Acrobat Professional does)
    * be able to specify a set of packages from which stuff is never published
