Command line mode

 
The Dr.Explain tool automates many things in help file authoring process. You may focus purely on the content of your help file or documentation manual. The program will get many boring  operations out of your work.
 
This command line mode is especially useful for batch processing of many projects or for script-based automation.
 
The command line mode allows exporting help projects into the HTML, CHM or RTF format without application GUI displaying.
 
You must use a special executable:
<Program Files>\Dr.Explain\tools\deexport.exe
 
The command syntax is:
Export to HTML: deexport.exe /sh <filename.gui>
Export to CHM: deexport.exe /sc <filename.gui>
Export to RTF: deexport.exe /sr <filename.gui>
 
If any errors or warnings are met then the messages will be written in the output log.
 
 
With the Dr.Explain you can create a professional help system for your software or web application easily.
