DocToMaml

DocToMaml 1.0 Beta is a tool that converts HTML and XHTML help files to Microsoft Assistance Markup Language (MAML) in a batch process.

MAML help files are used by DocProject and Sandcastle to build user documentation in various presentation styles.

DocToMaml provides a console mode and a project-based graphical user interface (GUI) for adding inputs and defining conversion rules to quickly and easily convert HTML files into MAML. Future releases will provide more flexibility for defining rules, but the beta can still be used to greatly decrease the amount of effort that would be required to convert large numbers of HTML files into MAML, compared to doing it manually.
