Hi Rick,

In the Build Project form, there is an option to define a Website Home Url which becomes the target for the Home link in the generated content. Here's my question/challenge: similar to my application deployments I have development, stage, and production IIS environments. In an ideal world, I could have a way to handle that with the Build Project form. Otherwise, I can:

  • build 3 times with the Url appropriate to the site where the help is being deployed
  • edit TableOfContents.html post-generation
  • just use the production location for the home link

I'll most likely just live with the one of the latter 2 options depending on how strong my OCD is on any given day. 😃 But I thought I should ask in case you have a clever solution.

Thanks again for DM!

The Web Site home Url should link to the home url of your production site. During development or staging that will still work if it's pointing there. It doesn't do anything other than navigate there.
