Maml

This topic describes exporting of the model to the MAML document (.aml file). MAML (Microsoft Assistance Markup Language) is an XML-based markup language developed by the Microsoft User Assistance Platform team to provide user assistance ("online help") for the Microsoft Windows operating system. To create MSDN-style documentation in MAML, the Sandcastle and Sandcastle Help File Builder software is useful.

Model export works for one level on the tree nodes. To export the model to the MAML file:

1. Select a node on the tree view, that you want to export to .aml.

2. Click on "Export -> To MAML" from the main menu, as below:
