- <h1>The Save As Command</h1>
-
- <p>Choosing <strong>Save As</strong> from the <strong>File</strong> menu
- opens the <strong>Save As</strong> dialog, where you can: save the document
- as XML, HTML, or as a text file to a local disk or a remote URI; save
- embedded images into the same document directory or a different location; and
- transform embedded URIs.</p>
-
- <h2>The Save As Dialog</h2>
-
- <p>The items in the dialog box, from top to bottom, left to right are used as
- follows:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>The <strong>Document format</strong> offers a choice between
- <strong>HTML</strong>, <strong>XML</strong> (XHTML) and
- <strong>Text</strong> for HTML documents. This submenu is not shown when
- saving a SVG, a MathML, a CSS, or any other document type. By default,
- Amaya keeps the current document format. The entry <strong>Text</strong>
- removes the HTML mark-up and replaces it by spaces, newlines, and so on.
- <p></p>
- </li>
- <li>The <strong>Document location</strong> field indicates where the file
- is to be written. This can be a file in the local file system (for
- example, <code>/pub/html/welcome.html</code>) or the name of a remote URI
- (for example, <code>http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Welcome.html</code>).
- <p></p>
- <p class="Note"><strong>Note: </strong><span
- xml:lang="EN" lang="EN"
- style="font-weight:normal">Use</span><strong><span></span></strong>a
- complete path for the URL. You should also make sure that you have the
- rights to do a <code>PUT</code>method if it is a remote location. Refer
- to the page on <a
- href="http://www.w3.org/Amaya/User/Put.html">configuring your server to
- accept the PUT method</a> or ask your Web administrator.</p>
- <p></p>
- </li>
- </ul>
- <ul>
- <li>The <strong>Copy Images</strong> toggle indicates whether the images
- embedded in the current document must be copied along with the document
- to the new location. It's generally better to keep this switch on as
- otherwise you will not be sure that the corresponding images will be
- found when opening the document later. However, switching it off is
- useful when you have only changed the text of the document and the
- document is stored on the same server. When images are copied, Amaya will
- automatically update all <strong>SRC</strong> attributes to point new
- image locations. New locations will be relative URIs.
- <p></p>
- </li>
- <li>The <strong>Transform URIs</strong> toggle transforms all current URIs
- into relative URIs when possible. Of course, if the document is saved in
- a local file and URIs point to remote files, URIs will be absolute. This
- ensures that all the links in the document remain correct after the copy.
- However, if you have several document linked together with relative URIs
- and you plan to move them to a remote location, you must disable URI
- conversion to avoid referencing the initial locations.
- <p></p>
- </li>
- <li>The <strong>Images location</strong> field allows you to save images
- (if <strong>Copy Images</strong> has been selected) to a different place
- than the HTML file. This field should contain the name of a directory on
- the local file system or a location on the remote server.
- <p></p>
- <ul>
- <li>Using a relative path, the images are stored at a location relative
- to the document directory. For example, if the document location is
- <code><a
- href="http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Welcome.html">http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Welcome.html</a><a
- href="http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Welcome.html"></a></code> and the
- images location is "Images", an image "W3C.png" contained in the
- document is stored at the URI <code><a
- href="http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Images/W3C.png">http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Images/W3C.png</a></code>
- and the HTML file is modified to reference it as:
- <p></p>
- <p><code><img src="Images/W3C.png"></code></p>
- <p></p>
- <p>This is similar in the case of a document location on the local
- file system.</p>
- <p></p>
- </li>
- <li>Using an absolute path, the images are stored at this exact
- location, independently of the document location. In the previous
- example, if the specified images location is
- <code>http://pub/WWW/Images</code>, the image is stored at
- <code>http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Images/W3C.png</code> and the
- corresponding HTML file is modified in the following way:
- <p></p>
- <p><code><img src="Images/W3C.png"></code></p>
- </li>
- </ul>
- </li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>Several buttons are at the bottom:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>Clicking <strong>Confirm</strong> starts the process of transforming
- the document. A dialog asks for confirmation in both of the following
- cases:
- <ul>
- <li>The document has to be saved on a remote server. Amaya displays the
- complete URI to be written to for verification.</li>
- <li>The document has to be saved locally and the file already exists.
- <p></p>
- </li>
- </ul>
- </li>
- <li>When saving to a remote location, check that the http_proxy is not set,
- or that the proxy server and the <a
- href="http://www.w3.org/Amaya/User/Put.html">target server are configured
- to work with the PUT</a> method.
- <p></p>
- </li>
- <li>Amaya does not currently contact the remote server (in case of an
- <code>http://...</code> destination) to check whether such a document
- already exists.
- <p></p>
- </li>
- <li>Clicking <strong>Browse</strong> lets you select a local directory and
- file name:
- <ul>
- <li>The <strong>Document directories</strong> field shows the
- directories contained in the current directory. It should be used to
- save a file on the local file system.</li>
- <li>The <strong>Files</strong> field shows the files contained in the
- current local directory.
- <p></p>
- </li>
- </ul>
- </li>
- <li>Clicking <strong>Clear</strong> removes the current contents of both
- the <strong>Document location</strong> field and the <strong>Images
- location</strong> field.
- <p></p>
- </li>
- <li>Clicking <strong>Change Charset</strong> opens a pop-up window that
- enables you to change the charset of the document. This option only works
- with documents that support the notion of charset, such as HTML and XML
- ones. This option is available when saving both remote and local
- documents.
- <p></p>
- </li>
- <li>Clicking <strong>Change Mime Type</strong> opens a pop-up window where
- you can select the MIME type of the document. If the MIME type you're
- looking for is not listed, you can type it in yourself. This button is
- only active when saving a document to a server (local file systems don't
- store the MIME metadata information.).
- <p></p>
- </li>
- <li>Clicking <strong>Cancel</strong> terminates the command.</li>
- </ul>
