Publish
This dialog will publish items of your tree using HTML, XML and CSV
formatting. With the publishing feature of Argentum MyFiles you will
be able to:
- Prepare your tree for public presentation or deployment.
- Send your tree to someone through e-mail.
- Publish your tree to the Internet.
- Import your tree into your favorite spreadsheet or database application for further processing. There are a number of third-party converters available on the market that support HTML, XML and CSV conversion to .txt, .doc, .xls, .pdf, and more.
- Print out your tree from the browser and get a hard copy.
- Watch your tree in full view with the help of consolidated layout.
Click here to see an example of HTML output. Generated HTML content is formatted by using cascading style sheets (CSS) technology. CSS makes it possible to change formatting of the whole content by altering only one file, "styles.css" file. You can change every aspect of look and feel (mainly fonts and colors) by altering this file.
To publish, select items in the list pane, then run this command. All selected items, including their descendants, will be sorted and published under the target folder. You can customize publishing through the following settings:
- Path to the target folder where the resulting content is generated.
- Basic output mode. Choose one of the available modes: HTML, XML or CSV.
- Layout. Consolidated layout places all of the items on a single document. Distributed layout generates a separate page for each folder.
- Possible decoration style. Applies to HTML output mode only. Available templates differ in color shade and border look. Printer-friendly version is included to better accommodate further print out. Remember that these are just the templates, thus you can always decorate on your own by editing the "styles.css" file.
- Property list for horizontal block. Every published page has a list of sections. Each of the sections represents a single item. In HTML mode, properties of this list will be placed horizontally within a section. For CSV mode this sets a list of values to place on a line. For XML mode this sets a list of values to appear as attributes.
- Property filter for vertical block. Every published page has a list of sections. Each of the sections represents a single item. In HTML mode, properties of this filter will be placed vertically within a section. In CSV output mode this filter is ignored. For XML mode this controls the values to appear as child elements.
The lower section of the publish dialog shows you the progress of the tree currently being published. You can interrupt this process at any time.
