Better navigation in HTML export?

Hello,
Keynote's export to HTML provides minimal navigation: go one step forward/backward and go to the very beginning. This is not good enough especially if you have exported all the builds as separate images, and would like to skip through some of it.
Is there a way to get direct navigability to "end of current slide," "beginning of next slide" and/or "go to slide# n"? I understand it should just be a matter of having the appropriate javascript code in the html file. Is there some tool out there which can look at the directory of the slide images and produce such an html file?
And, is there any navigation at all possible in flash exports (other than step forward)?
Thank you!

Welcome to the discussions, appleprof.
I haven't examined the html myself, but I would imagine you could manually change the links so that clicking goes to the slide of your choice.
Also, you might want to look at eZedia QTI. It may give more of the control you want.

RichEditableText: export().equals() and HTML export

1. How can I find out that two richEditableText.export() are equal?
At least the order of the attributes in the TextFlow element is random which means that exported strings cannot be compared directly. Take for example the trunk.mxml from http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-21836 and compile+run it several times and you see the different order of attributes. Is there a utility method somewhere to compare two exports? (BTW releasing the source of TLF would ease these kind of bug hunting...)
I know how to use richEditableText.textFlow.generation but this only indicates changes in the current component.
2. Is supporting html import/export on the roadmap?
(This question got burried in the information stream... http://forums.adobe.com/message/2042067#2042067)
Gordon Smith: TLF's TextFilter class supports importers and exporters for HTML_FORMAT, but I haven't tried them and don't know how robust they are.
I think the HTML export in TLF is not yet stable. The thing is that once
it is stable there is pretty much no way to insert the import
functionality into RichEditableText without rewriting most of the
component. In my opinion, it should be either integrated into
RichEditableText even at this early stage or RichEditableText should be
refactored to allow extending it in an easier way.
Thanks for any hints,

Hi Abhishek,
Nice conversation I do not expect that TLF covers the full HTML standard. After all, browsers are too good when it comes to HTML rendering...
with varying degrees of fidelity.
I remember reading in the TLF forum, that HTML import/export was experimental. That's why I wrote that HTML is not ready for prime time. Also your comment shows that HTML is a poor choice from a Flex perspective. Unfortunately, it's unclear what varying degrees of fidelity really means as I'm not aware of any precise documentation or code.
Concerning your idea about passing around a (mutable) instance of TextFlow, I'm not a great fan. The power of markup is besides others, that it is a comparable description of content and format. So I definitely prefer an equal function. If this function doesn't make it into the Flex 4 release, I reluctantly add to each TLF markup a dirty flag which is based on TextFlow.generation.
As mentioned before, I prefer TLF could export all content and formatting into HTML compliant format. There are many reasons why HTML is a huge benefit over any new, widely undocumented format (this is not specific to TLF or FXG). A few reasons that come to my mind:
- Server side: Apache Lucene has a battle-proof extractor. With TLF or FXG, I had to write and configure my own.
- Server side: Extract and modify links in content. This is obviously very easy with HTML as there are age-old libs available.
- Flash Player: Compare two TLF markups. There might be also no actionscript lib for HTML available. But I'd happily start a project for HTML but not for a new format without underlining code and thorough doc.
- HTTP communication: what's the mime type of TLF or FXG?
- Every developer knows HTML, TLF/FXG must be learned. I regard this learning as a high barrier as TLF does not seem to be a big step forward compared to HTML.
Note that I don't prefer HTML because it is an "open standard". It's because the whole world knows HTML and that brings a much higher engineering efficiency (and that's maybe due to the open standard). If not all information of TLF can be export HTML, it's a pity but just document it.
Looking forward to your thoughts/comments,
Marc
abhishek.g wrote: Hi Marc,
Thanks for your reply.
TLF supports many different markup formats (TLF, FXG, Plain text, HTML) with varying degrees of fidelity. It would simply not do to compare HTML because there isn't a 1:1 correspondence between TLF and HTML capabilities. From that perspective, TLF format would be your best bet though I realize there is the problem of inconsistent attribute order.
Perhaps your scenario is better addressed by having utilities to compare TextFlow instances rather than comparing corresponding markup (this needs additional thought).
As for HTML import/export, it is obviously be beyond TLF's scope to implement the full HTML standard. The current implementation is loosely based on the HTML capabilities of flash.text.TextField (see htmlText property), which itself is a small subset of the standard, and deviates from it in some ways. When you say HTML support is not ready for prime time, are you referring to this limited scope, or have you encountered specific bugs in the implementation? If the former, I'd like to know what your expectations are. If the latter, please report them.
Thanks

HTML Export Content Ordering Problem

I've inherited a collection of InDesign files and PDF files that have been exported from them. I'd like to convert everything to HTML. The InDesign export process is working fine for most files, but for a few, I am getting my content's order re-arranged. One problem file is a large file that contains a series of letters. The output file contains 3 DIVs within the BODY tag. The first one contains the (Correct) first page, then the second two DIVs each contains a seemingly arbitrary collection of these letters with "jumps" in the ordering (10 letters might be in the correct order, then we "jump" to a previous set of letters or a much latter set of letters). The PDF export doesn't have this problem. I'm a newbie to InDesign. Thanks for any ideas for where I should look for the source of this problem.

Hi Devin,
For HTML export there are three modes for ordering content. This option is avilable in Content order section in General Tab of HTML export:
1. Based on Page Layout : This is the default one and the one you are using right now. The objects appear from the top left and the appearance may not match ID in this case.
2. Based on Articles Panel: Here you put your content in articles and then depending on the order the objects appear in Articles, the same order applies to HTML export.
Please refer this link to get a better idea about how Articles Panel works:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/WS8c5bc4f64c7a4a3d78b7a8b312dbccaf5b2-8000.h tml
(this is the one you should be using )
3. Based on XML structure: This applies in case you have tagged content and wish to make xml structure as the reading order.
Thanks,
Pooja

Keynote 8 (4.04) HTML export problems.

The Navigator in my HTML exports works fine in Safari, but all of the hyperlinks are dead...whether to a next slide or a webpage. Also, any "MouseUp" click annoyingly goes to the next slide; can I disable this?
Grateful for any help.

Welcome to the forum.
I first want to commend you on a well-written, and detailed post. Wish that others would take a page from your book.
Now, the first thing that I notice is the lack of free space on your system (C:\) drive. If your Virtual Memory is dynamically managed (the default), you are likely to be running out of space for it. At least you have 2 physical HDD's, which I feel is the absolute minimum for video editing. I would look into cleaning out some "stuff" on your C:\, to get more working room there. The general feeling is that 30GB of defragmented free space is the min., but I lean towards ~ 50GB, with a statically managed Page File. With 4GB of physical RAM, I would look to a Page File of about 2 - 2.5x the RAM, or 6 - 10 GB. The static management will do two things: take the Page File management overhead off of the OS and also will locate the Page File in the same area of the HDD at boot up. You might want to experiment with placing it on your D:\, as separating it out from the C:\ can result in performance gains on many systems. This needs to be tested, however. I have my Page File on an otherwise pretty empty D:\, but have many more physical HDD's for media, for Projects, for Exported files, etc. My Projects and their Scratch Disks are separately located too, so the entire workload is spread over a half-dozen HDD's.
Now, I have two articles, that might be useful. The first is to set up a system for video editing, and is HERE. The second is for finding clues, when a program, or system crashes. It is located HERE. There are also several good articles in the FAQ sub-forum, on optimizing both one's system and the PrE program. I highly recommend those.
Hope that something there is helpful, and good luck,
Hunt

Add custom html / scripts to html export

Hello all,
I'm looking for a way to add some code into each page after export file to html.
the code is something like:
<script type="text/javascript">
parent.pageVisited[1] = 1;
</script>
Is there an easy way to add to each page when exporting file to html?
Thanks
Omer

I don't believe that the HTML exporter is open source, so you cannot alter its behaviour. What you can do is pick up the HTML file created by a Javascript as a textstream and read it line by line in a loop. Search each line for the specific end tag in the HTML line and insert your lines after that position. Finish of by replicating the other remaining lines. Save the textstream.
This can be done in every programming language in fact. Hope this helped.

Weird Tags in Story Editor Breaking HTML export

Some of my manuscript files will not export to html. After further exploration, we found that in story editor mode, there are weird arrow type characters around text (ie, superscript numbers or within references) that seem to be the problem. Once the characters are removed, the html exports fine.
Any ideas as to why these random special characters/tags show up only in the story editor mode and where they come from?

Here is what I am seeing in story editor mode. These tags don't show up in the normal layout or preview mode.

Looking to determine what causes these. Could it be leftover Microsoft Word Formating?

How do you edit the HTML export template?

Fireworks HTML and images export does not render correctly when viewing in IE9 due to the default browser padding values. I'm a little disappointed the Fireworks dev team didn't see this coming and add some code to prevent this rendering issue. Anyway... I've come up with a work around to edit the html pages by adding my own style sheet which includes the yahoo CSS reset styles to take care of this problem and it works great. The only problem is, adding it to every page of a multiple page export is tedious. So, I'd like to directly edit the HTML template fireworks uses to generate the html in the head of each page it exports so it includes a reference to my own external style sheet. I just need to know where/if I can make this change. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Greg

I've never tried it, but the HTML Code folder inside Fireworks' application Configuration folder contains a number of items related to HTML Export. (Incidentally, I'd never mess with this folder without first saving a backup, and even then it's at your own risk.)
There's no simple HTML template file here, but there are files like "DreamweaverLibrary.htt", which is a "hypertext template" file that looks a lot like JavaScript to me. So if you're comfortable modifying JavaScript, then you could take a crack at it. I'm not sure, but it looks like this library file might govern what gets written into the head of an exported HTML document. If not, you could try a different one.
Another, less invasive approach might be to do some kind of Find and Replace on the exported HTML documents—using Dreamweaver or a text editor.

HTML export Issue

HTML export used to export a functional interactive file I could open in Safari. Now it doesn't. Cause appears to be changing html extension to .wdgt (for iBook Author) and then changing it back again,the file ceased to work and prevented any other exported HTML file working either. I opened Safari and searched history for one I had opened earlier to prove I wasn't going mad. then saved the file to the desktop. It automatically had a .webarchive extension applied to it. What is going on?

Just quickly, I have an interactive app, built in InDesign, making use mainly of MSOs triggered by on-screen buttons. I was considering publishing this as an eBook and how I could achieve the same level of interactivity using iBooks Author. Exploring the HTML Widget in iBooks Author, i wondered if it was as simple as renaming the .html file (output directly from InDesign to .wdgt for use by iBook Author. It wasn't so simple, so I changed the name back to .html. From then onwards I could no longer produce an HTML file direct from InDesign that behaved like the previous interactive html.

Hyperlinks in keynote HTML export.

I've created a presentation with Keynote 3 and would like words and objects to link to external web sites.
The links work when the presentation is viewed using Keynote. But when I export to HTML the links don't work.
Am I doing something wrong? Or is this feature not available?

Sigh, well that makes perfect since Apple, have "hyperlinks" built into keynotes that work like a webpage in preview, but when you export to HTML ( a logical choice) have it stop working...
1 this should be an easy fix for apple, make each slide a seperatr HTML file and link between them. Currently it's already exporting each slide as a JPG.
Yes I know Keynote is not meant to be a web design program... But if it can export to PDF, Quicktime, and even Powerpoint, HTML export (that works with hyperlinks) should be easily done...

List item tags li not closing in HTML export

Can anyone explain what triggers list items <li> to close in HTML exported from InDesign CC?
I have bulleted and numbered lists followed by paragraphs and headings, but InDesing is exporting everything following the last list item inside of the last <li> tag.
It seems to me that InDesing CC does not close <li> tags until it hits a paragraph style which has Tag set to [Automatic] within the Export Tagging section. I have lists followed by headings with styles mapped to HTML heading tags.

Sperating pages in HTML export

Hello,
Anyone know if it is possible to separate pages, sections or chapters into separate HTML pages when exporting, in order not to a get a huge single webpage? Something similar to what DocBook XML editors do...
Thanks very much!
PS: so I hear that the HTML export is no good... but possibly for text-rich pages with few graphics it might be ok... ?

Hello TNGS,
welcome to the Pages Discussions. There is no way to split a document in Pages during the HTML export procedure. All you can do, is to split your document into several in Pages and export every document into a single HTML page. Than use an ordinary text editor to knitting all together to a useable website.
I have written some manuals with Pages 1 in 2005 and one (372 pages) should be exist as an HTML manual as well, so I tried to write XSL scripts for converting one big HTML document into a functional website. Forget it. There are too many obstacles in the way to manage this in an adequate time.

Html export in Pages 09?

I saw the video about posting the page to iWork.com. Does this mean there is html export in the iWork apps?

You are really missing the point with iWeb.
I maintain a church site using iWeb. Updating and adding content is as easy as it gets. The coding is messy but my friends are seeing my pages as I intend them and I don't need to spend hours putting them together. My main job is music but I have also volunteered to maintain our web site.
For people whose job is web creation, iWeb is too limited and is not intended for this use and makes no claims to be so.It is for consumer level creation only.
That said, it is also easy to copy and paste info from a Pages or Word doc directly into an iWeb page. If it is a matter of formatting than why not use a pdf?
I believe it was wise of Apple to take the web export out of Pages. I have not seen a program designed for word processing and layout that does html export well. There is always a level of clean up that needs to be undertaken after the export so the page will display correctly.

Can you include navigational attribute in export datasource

Can you include a navigational attribute in an export datasource? If so, how.
Thanks.
Sandy

hi sandy,
i don't think so. navigational attributes are not available. you need to understand that in case of an ODS object the export data source is generated out of the change log table, so if any field missing in the change log table it will not be part of the export data source.
In case of cubes the characteristics and key figures reflects in the export data source.
but why do you need navigational attributes in export data source ? it conflicts the nature of nav attributes as you will be storing the history statically with reference to the data when it was loaded. if you really want the same nav attributes in your subsequent data targets then include the characteristic which has the desired nav attributes in your target cube and map it from the export data source of the source info-provider. Switch on the nav attributes in the target info-providers.
hope it helps
thanks

When I try to open iweb I get the following message: Can't open file "~/Sites/NAVIGATOR/index.html." How do I fix this? Using 10.6.3 soon to be 10.6.6 and then Lion.

When I try to open iweb I get the following message: Can’t open file “~/Sites/NAVIGATOR/index.html.” How do I fix this? Using 10.6.3 soon to be 10.6.6 and then Lion. I have never opened the product before and have had it on the computer since new.

Go into your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and see if there's a file titled Domain.sites. If there is double click on it and see if iWeb opens.
If there is no Domain file there do the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
launch iWeb and try again.
