Customizing templates and .css files
You can customize the default HTML output for your source ABL code by customizing templates. The location of the ABLDoc artifacts is:
%DLC%\oeide\eclipse\plugins\com.progress.openedge.pdt.abldoc.core._version\abldoc-artifacts
(Version is the version number of OpenEdge, for example 11.5.0.00.)
The HTML files are generated using templates in the %artifact-location%/templates location. You can customize the following templates:
*Navigation_template.vm – To customize the output of the main navigation page.
*Overview_template.vm - To customize the Overview page. You can also add a detailed description of the application to this template.
*Class_template.vm - To customize the output of the class files.
*Procedure_template.vm: To customize the output of the procedure files.
*Fields_summary_template.vm: To customize the structure of Fields Summary section of class and procedure files.
*Fields_detail_template.vm: To customize the structure of Fields Detail section for classes and procedures.
*Copyright_template.vm: Placeholder for copyright information. The information placed in this template is displayed in all pages.
You can customize the .css file and images or add a new .css file in the following location:
%artifact-location%/resources/css
%artifact-location%/resources/images
Note: All the files or folders in the resources folder are copied the output destination directory. If you want any images or source code to be copied to the output destination directory, you can place them in the resources folder.
