Using Dynamic Merge for WebWorks Help 5
=======================================
Dynamic Merge is a feature exclusively available for WebWorks Help.
 
"example" directory
-----------------
Contained in this distribution of Dynamic Merge is an example configuration of how to automate the generation and merging of multiple ePublisher Express projects into a single unified WebWorks Help help-set.

This example requires the following:
  1) AutoMap command line (WebWorks.AutoMap.exe)
  2) Dynamic merge script (wwh5merge.vbs)
  3) 2 or more ePublisher Express projects that contain a single WebWorks Help 5 target (note: use the "-t" automap command line option if you have more than one target).

General Instructions:
---------------------
To create your own dynamic merge configuration you will need to do the following. This will give you a single batch file that generates your help-set from scratch every time it is run.

1) Define an ePublisher marker style called: "WWHSortOrder" of type: "WebWorks Help Merge Order".
2) Define an ePublisher marker style called: "WWHGrouping" of type: "WebWorks Help Merge Grouping".
3) Add 1 "WWHSortOrder" custom marker instance to 1 source document for every top-level ePublisher grouping. Use any integer as the marker value; smaller values sort first.
4) Optionally add 1 "WWHGrouping" custom marker instance to 1 source document for every top-level ePublisher grouping. Use a text string as the value to create a virtual hierarchy (i.e. Top/Nest1/Nest2 creates 3 nested display folders).
5) Create an Express project for each separate volume (make sure to syncrhonize with a stationery that has the WWH* marker styles).
6) Create your own "run.bat" file with entries for each Express project. See "example" setup for how to create this file and the directory structure of your projects and deployed output.
