Hey Stefan, If I am not mistaken, you should be able to build docs using sandcastle via command line by creating a shfbproj project file with the sandcastle options and run it through msbuild. I have not attempted this but it's written in multiple sites.
Ex: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/141766/Creating-documentation-for-a-NET-component-with-Sa If it works, you could theoretically use NAnt's <exec> command to run msbuld to create the the docs. Hope this helps, Thanks, Ryan On Sun, Jun 3, 2012 at 1:48 AM, Stefan Bodewig <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > we currently create the online API docs via the ancient NDoc and HTML > Help compiler combo.
