This method publishes a template for use with HotDocs Server. Like the Publishing Wizard (available in the HotDocs Tools menu), this method scans the template for any inserted templates and builds the JavaScript (.JS), HotDocs Variable Collection (.HVC), and Manifest (.manifest.xml) files required for HotDocs Server. These .JS and .HVC files are then copied to an output folder along with the template files.
This method was introduced in HotDocs 6.1 SP1. Also, it can only be used with HotDocs Developer. If used with HotDocs Developer LE, User, or Player, it returns an error.
