How do you build html file that exist in a subfolder?

[guntherkoo]

All the root .html files get built with include but the subfolder doesn't have the same effect. Need help! :)

This is my Grunt.js file:

processhtml: { dist: { options: { process: true }, files: [{ expand: true, cwd: 'app/', src: ['*/.html'], dest: 'public/', ext: '.html' }] } },

Thanks in advance!

Seems to only be reading only the .html files in the root but not any in the subfolders.. please help!

dist: {

process: true
},

try give an example of the issue

I tried that as well, so basically what I'm trying to do is to include the header and footer for this website I'm building. HTML files that exist on the root of the app/ works with including header.html and footer.html but any HTML files that exist inside a folder isn't getting the included tag files like header.html and footer.html after I run the build grunt task.

Since the HTML file is inside a folder, I've tried changing the include tag to be /include/header.html but that still isn't working for me.

Hi @dciccale, any idea on how to fix this? Sorry to bother you, just want to get this working :)

[guntherkoo]

@dciccale I just figured it out! Maybe something you want to include in your documentation. You need to include the option:includeBase

in order for subfolder .html items to be built with processhtml.

Removing the folder the include files are in, just having
