Is there a way to incorporate Python to open all .xml files in a directory and publish each one? If not with Python, is there a way to batch Publish files?

Thank you

This is a very common question. In general, the answer is "yes" but not via Python - unless you want to call out from Python to the command shell to execute the tasks. The better way is to use ACL scripts which run inside Arbortext and avoid having to shutdown and restart the application between each composition request.

 

Please review some of the previous answers, or search this forum for "batch":

In addition to the previous posts, is there documentation for writing ACL, especially for Arbortext Editor Release 6.0?

Thank you

I think there are training courses you can take, but if you are familiar with Perl then you will find ACL very similar. The Arbortext Help Center includes complete reference documentation, and you will find the product itself ships with lots of ACL code in the *.acl files that you can use for reference.
