Overview

You can easily export data to a set of HTML pages you can upload to any web site. In version 8.20, the HTML Export module has been completely rewritten. Instead of having to manually edit xsl templates, you can now easily set up everything from within the program without having to even look at the xsl templates.

To open the 'Export to HTML' window, choose Export / HTML from the File menu. Or simply click the Export to HTML button on the toolbar.

The list to the left displays the saved export definitions (the hed files in the \HTML Export folder). You can create as many export definitions as you like. Simply click on the definition you want to open.

On the Notes tab you can enter your own notes about the setup. You find more information about the options on the other tabs here:

•	The General tab

•	The Index tab

•	The List tab

•	The Detail Page tab

To start generating the HTML pages, click the Export button. Make sure you have specified the correct output folder first.

Check the Test mode box to activate "test mode". This means that the program will only export the first three records. This is useful if you want to check the layout of the output without having to export all records.

Check this Preview in browser when finished box if you want the program to automatically launch your web browser with the index page loaded after the export process is completed.

Create a new export definition

Click the Add button . In the 'Add New' window, specify a name, select the base table (Album or Track) and whether you want to create a 'Standard' or 'Code based' setup. Select 'Code based' if you prefer to manually create the xsl templates (like in previous versions):

If you select 'Standard', you have five tabs available in the right part of the window (General, Index, List, Detail Page and Notes). If you select 'Code based', you only have two (General and Notes).

Clone the export definition

Click the Clone button to clone (create a copy of) the active export definition. Specify the new name, and click OK.

If you would like to convert a standard definition to a code based setup, click the drop-down arrow and select Clone - Create Code Based from the menu. This is useful if you want to go in and fine tune the xsl code the program has created.

Delete the export definition

Click the Delete button to delete the active export definition. Confirm by clicking Yes.

Set options

Click the Options button to set various options:

•	AutoSave - Determines whether changes are automatically saved or not.

•	Change Folder - This allows you to set the folder where the export definitions files are stored (the default folder is \HTML Export in the Data folder).

Rename the definition

Click the Rename button to rename the active definition. Specify the new name and click OK.

Save or cancel changes

To save any changes you have made, simply click the Save button . Note that this is not necessary if AutoSave is enabled.

To cancel any changes you have made, click the Cancel button . Confirm by clicking Yes.
