External Tool Calls in DocBook Transformation

Post by cdoc »

Hello,

it would be nice to have the possibility to include external tool calls into (DocBook) transformation scenarios. For instance, we would like to perform a simple command following the HTML transformation that copies all necessary image files into their proper target dirs.

Hello,

We will consider the request for a future version.

You can create an external tool from menu Options -> Preferences -> External Tools that copies the image files to the target directory and run the external tool from the toolbar External Tools after you run the transformation scenario.

Hello Sorin,

thank you very much for the prompt reply. We're already using the external tool function manually, but sometime we just forget to. And that results in unnecessary errors.

Best regards
Andreas
