All documenters share a common set of documenter settings.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| BinaryTOC | Create a binary table-of-contents file. This can significantly reduce the amount of time required to load a very large help document. |
| ExtensibilityStylesheet | Path to an xslt stylesheet that contains templates for documenting extensibility tags. |
| FilesToInclude | Specifies external files that must be included in the compiled CHM file. Multiple files must be separated by a pipe ('|'). |
| FooterHtml | Raw HTML that is used as a page footer instead of the default footer. "%FILE_NAME%\" is dynamically replaced by the name of the file for the current html page. "%ASSEMBLY_NAME%\" is dynamically replaced by the name of the assembly for the current page. "%ASSEMBLY_VERSION%\" is dynamically replaced by the version of the assembly for the current page. "%TOPIC_TITLE%\" is dynamically replaced by the title of the current page. |
| HeaderHtml | Raw HTML that is used as a page header instead of the default blue banner. "%FILE_NAME%\" is dynamically replaced by the name of the file for the current html page. "%TOPIC_TITLE%\" is dynamically replaced by the title of the current page. |
| HtmlHelpName | The HTML Help project file and the compiled HTML Help file use this property plus the appropriate extension as names. |
| IncludeFavorites | Turning this flag on will include a Favorites tab in the HTML Help file. |
| OutputDirectory | The directory in which .html files and the .chm file will be generated. |
| OutputTarget | Sets the output type to HTML Help (.chm) or Web or both. |
| RootPageContainsNamespaces | If true, the Root Page will be made the container of the namespaces in the table-of-contents. If false, the Root Page will be made a peer of the namespaces in the table-of-contents. |
| RootPageFileName | The name of an html file to be included as the root home page. SplitTOCs is disabled when this property is set. |
| RootPageTOCName | The name for the table-of-contents entry corresponding to the root page. If this is not specified and RootPageFileName is, then the TOC entry will be 'Overview'. |
| SdkLinksOnWeb | If true, links to system types and members will point to the online MSDN library. |
| ShowVisualBasic | This is a temporary property until we get a working language filter in the output like MSDN. |
| Title | This is the title displayed at the top of every page. |
