Hello,
Have got the BlueGiffon User Manual but don't see any information about how to run the product [and open a specific file] from the command line.  I tried a couple of guesses that worked on other products, but didn't work for this one.  I need this to be able to run BlueGriffon from within a FileMaker application.

Appreciate guidance please.

Thanks much, Bill Cole

There are two command line arguments:


-file <FULL_path_file>
-url <URL>

So, for instance, to open file foo.html in your home directory on OSX,
you would call

open /Applications/BlueGriffon.app --args -file ~/foo.html

Does that help?

</Daniel>

Thanks much ... that did the job.  Now I have to figure out how to edit table borders.  Like this product a lot.  Once I work out how to edit table borders, will buy a full license.
