<Include>

You can use the <Include> command to specify a source file that contains the Guide Script commands used to generate your guide file.

<Include> sourceFileName

sourceFileName

A filename of a file containing Guide Script commands for your guide file. This file must be located in the same folder as the file that specifies the <Include> command.

DESCRIPTION

You can specify the Guide Script commands that define your guide file in multiple source files. If you do this, you must create a build file and use the <Include> command to specify each source file. A build file is a file that contains only <Include> and <Resource> commands. When you compile your guide file, you specify your build file as the file to compile. All files referenced by <Include> commands must be located in the same folder as your build file.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

If you use an <Include> command, it must appear in a separate build file that contains only <Include> and <Resource> commands.

EXAMPLES

#build file for SurfWriter guide file
<Include> "Standard Setup"
<Include> "Panel definitions"
<Include> "Sequence definitions"
<Include> "Topic Areas definitions"
<Include> "Index definitions"
<Resource> "Standard Resources", ALL
