I have an MSBuild Target that builds my documentation in my build-script.

This target uses Sandcastle Helpfile Builder.

It is done like this:

<Target name='builddoc' DependsOnTargets='buildall'>     <ItemGroup>       <Assemblies Include='-assembly=$(outputdir)\myassembly.dll' />       <Assemblies Include='-assembly=$(outputdir)\anotherassembly.dll' />    </ItemGroup>     <Exec Command='$(double_quote)$(SandcastleHFBCmd)$(double_quote) sandcastleproj.shfb$(double_quote) @(assemblies, ' ') outputpath=$(outdir) </Target>
