Generate Help and more...

Hi!

I have some question about the help project that NAV 2016 contains. I have seen that in previous NAV versions it was a Help toolkit that generates the htm help files and refresh automatically the help table of contents (.chm format). Now in NAV 2016 the help table of contents is in xml format (ToC.xml) (so I don't know how to refresh the table of contents contained inside this ToC.xml file).

I have created some pages and tables in the Development Environment and the problem is that I have not found any information about a plugin or toolkit (for NAV 2016) to generate the htm files and refresh the ToC.xml file. My decission was to create the help htm files manually (horrible and exhausting).

In conclusion, I would like to know if there is some method to (automatically) generate the htm files and refresh the ToC.xml file too. I found some guides and tutorials for Windows NAV 2013 toolkit but it only works with chm files and not with the NAV 2016 ToC.xml file.

Any help?

Thank you

Thank you! It was helpful, but some questions:

1) The last link is about a a list of topics which talk about a plugin which need some programs (Markup Pro) and insert in the database some FOB files to run but i have the restriction in my company not to manage third-party files in the dababase. So... my question was about: is any way in NAV 2016 itself to generate the htm files and ToC directly?
