Question

I want to be able to generate help documentation from existing topic files (.AML) using Sandcastle. I use Sandcastle Help File Builder to assist the with the configuration and generatation of the documentation.

I do not want to publish any code documentation, however, if I do not specify a Documentation Source (e.g., project, solution, dll, exe, etc.) then the build fails.

How can I configure Sandcastle Help File Builder such that I can generate documentation without exposing the code documentation?

This is accomplished by enabling the Additional Content Only Plugin. This can be found in PlugInConfigurations in the Project Properties. Simply adding this plugin produces the desired output.
