HTML Offline Export with Category-Level Structure
D
Dusk blue Perch
When exporting multiple categories in HTML offline documentation, all articles are merged into a single docs folder with shared assets and one index.html. The category-level structure is not preserved.
Problem / Use case
We manage ~26 modules where each category or subcategory maps to a module in our help center repository. The exported HTML is not used as-is and needs to be pushed into a structured repo. Since the export flattens everything, each writer has to export categories individually and manually merge them, which leads to repeated effort and multiple deployments.
Expected behavior
Allow exporting multiple categories such that each category is preserved as a separate folder (with its own docs, assets, and index.html) instead of merging everything into a single structure. This should align better with repository-based workflows and reduce manual effort.

We cannot directly use the exported docs in our CI/CD workflows. We always have to clean up and reorganize files first, which defeats the purpose of automation.

Our updates usually go out in smaller chunks. With everything bundled together in one big export, it is hard to pick and update just one part without touching the rest. That creates unnecessary work during releases.

We often need to share only relevant documentation with customers based on what they are using. With the current export, we have to manually filter out everything else, which takes time and can lead to mistakes.

We keep our content organized in separate folders internally. When we export, everything comes out in one place, and we have to spend time restructuring it again. It adds an extra step every single time.

Different people on our team handle different parts of the documentation. Right now, everyone just pulls what they need individually to avoid overlap. It works, but it is not efficient at all.
