GhostDoc Enterprise
We have identified a clear need for a new kind of GhostDoc product, specifically suitable
for enterprises and customers who need advanced configuration features for the help
file output.
The GhostDoc Enterprise version that we are officially introducing today offers silent
deployment options, full customization of the template and layout of the Comment Preview
and Help Files. The Enterprise license customers are also eligible for the on-premises
Enterprise Licensing Server option.

Help Configuration and Help Content Targeting
The new Help Configuration feature enables you to create ready-to-use help generation
profiles. You can easily switch between profiles, depending on what kind of help you
are producing. Also you can define attributes with <tags /> in XML Comment and
use tag filtering in Help Configuration to target Help content to your specific audience.
Help Configuration profiles include settings for:
-
Output format
-
Scope
-
Projects to include
-
Header and footer
-
New tag filtering for help content targeting
