Script files are the heart of HTML based templates as they include a mix of HTML and Pascal code used to instruct HelpNDoc on how to generate the final documentation. Using those very powerful script files, it is possible to customize almost any part of the generated documentation files.

Edit a script

Once a script is selected in the list, use the "Edit Script" button to access the script editor and change its name or content.

Rename a script

Once a script is selected in the list, use the "Rename Script" button to rename it. Note: a script must contain the ".pas." text in its name before its extension (e.g. index.pas.html).

Once a script is selected in the list, use the "Delete Script" button to delete that script from the currently selected template. This script won't be run anymore when the final documentation is generated.
