Creating Modules

Doc-O-Matic provides a method for structuring your project and your output: You can divide your project into several parts, called modules. Modules can contain several files and their symbols. For example, use modules to create separate hierarchies for all libraries contained in your project. The module name is only used internaly. The title of the modul topic is used for links to the module from global symbols and members in the Container section.

To create a module

On the View tab in the Views group click Project Manager.
On the Manage tab in the Modules group, click New Module .
In the Module Name box, enter the name for your module.
In the Topic box, enter the name of the topic that you want to use as root topic for your module hierarchy. Do one of the following:
- Click + next to the Parsed Source folder.
- Select all files that you want to be contained in your module.
- Right-click anywhere in the Project Manager.
- Point to Assign to Module, and then select the module you want to use.
- Select a module.
- Right-click and select Add Folder to Module to add all files in a folder to your module.
On the Project tab in the Add group, click Update all .
On the View tab in the Views group, click Content Manager.
You will see that all symbols contained in files that you added to a module are grouped in this module.

Notes

If you assign all files and symbols to modules, Doc-O-Matic will omit folders such as symbol reference, classes, files in the main structure. If you want a symbol reference folder in your project, you have to select the symbol reference, and then select Document on the shortcut menu.
