Hmmm... Where did you find that? I know it's at least the easiest
option, but IIRC, you can use things like the FPCSRCDIR environment
variable and css-file command line option to tweak things.

Having the structure is how I currently have my directories set up; I
think I'll try and make that work if possible:
c:\development

   +-extras
   | +-fpcdocs
   | +-synapse
   | +-tiopf

   +-fpcfixes26

   +-lazarusfpctrunk

Wondering how you are going to make that work for Linux/other OS...
Perhaps you could create the batch/shell files from within fpdoc manager
using TProcess.Execute?

Ok.
