Hello Crypt32, I recently noticed that you have a new release of your editor. This is just a heads up to let you know how your editor is being used and that perhaps you may consider incorporating something similar within a future release.

I use PsCmdletHelpEditor to generate Html files that may be incorporated into a Sandcastle Help File build. The advantage of doing this is that links can be created to other associated help topics. At the moment I have modified V3.3 of your editor to include an "All To File" button and a Textbox that accepts a folder destination on the "Output" tab. When "All To File" is run, for every cmdlet help topic the generated sourceHTML is surrounded by the necessary markup to create a standalone Html file and the html is saved to a folder within the Sandcastle project. Sandcastle provides tools to generate the necessary MAML to load the generated files into a project. Regards pianoboy

I don't have editor usage statistics, but suspect it is quite low. I don't have much feedback on this tool, so I'm developing it mostly for my personal purposes. I didn't thought about complete website building from help topics. If I get more feedback, I will take this feature into consideration.
