Creating documentation for a pattern

When you create a pattern authoring project, a default HTML pattern specification is created as part of the project. You can edit this pattern specification to document your user-defined pattern.

To edit the pattern specification, complete the following steps.

1. Expand the Pattern Authoring folder in the Application Development view.
2. Expand your pattern authoring project, and expand Pattern Specification.
3. Right-click overview.htm and select Open With > HTML Editor.
   The default user-defined pattern specification is shown in the HTML editor.
4. Edit the content of the pattern specification in the HTML editor.
   The default specification contains example links to suggested HTML files. To ensure that these links work correctly, you must create the required files and edit the links in the default specification. If you do not require these additional pages, delete the example links from the default specification.
5. To save the changes, click File > Save.
6. To view the updated pattern specification, click the Categories tab of the Pattern Authoring editor.
