### 44.9 Gathering files for an HTML project: an example

Suppose your file structure looks like this:

    D:\AllDocs\CSS              CSS files for all HTML projects
    D:\MyDoc                    DITA files, projects file
    D:\MyDoc\Graphics           Graphics
    D:\MyDoc\HTML               DITA2Go output files and project configuration file

And you want the files for your HTML project assembled as follows:

    D:\MyDoc\HTML\_wrap          HTML files should be copied here
    D:\MyDoc\HTML\_wrap\images   Graphics files should be copied here
    D:\MyDoc\HTML\_wrap\styles   CSS files should be copied here

Your projects file (.prj, in D:\MyDoc with your DITA files) would specify D:\MyDoc\HTML as the path for DITA2Go to use for output. D:\MyDoc\HTML is also where your project configuration file is located.

To get all the files where you want them, in the configuration file you would specify the following:

Section | Setting
    [Automation]
    WrapPath=.\_wrap
A location relative to the project directory. You could just as well use the absolute path: WrapPath=D:\MyDoc\HTML\_wrap. Notice the backslashes here, which are required for Windows.
    CopyCssFrom=D:\AllDocs\CSS
Where to find the CSS files for this project. Path separators are backslashes.
CopyGraphicsFrom=D:\MyDoc\Graphics
Where to find graphics for this project. Path separators are backslashes.
    GraphCopyFiles=*.jpg *.gif
Files you want from the CopyGraphicsFrom directory.
    [CSS]
    CssPath=.\styles
Where CSS files should be relative to the HTML files that use them (that is, relative to the WrapPath directory). DITA2Go converts backslashes to forward slashes before writing these references in the HTML files.
    [Graphics]
    GraphPath=.\images
Where the graphics should be relative to the HTML files that reference them (that is, relative to the WrapPath directory). DITA2Go converts backslashes to forward slashes before writing these references in the HTML files.
