System and method for automatically generating a searchable plug-in from text files

摘要

A plug-in generating system generates a searchable plug-in from text files. The system selects the text files from one or more directories of text files for inclusion in the searchable plug-in. The system converts the selected text files into a plurality of HTML files for providing enhanced search capability of the searchable plug-in. The system compresses the converted HTML files for inclusion into the searchable plug-in. The system generates table-of-contents XML file for listing the converted HTML files. The system packages the converted HTML files and the generated table-of-contents file into the searchable plug-in.
