Publishing to HTML

You can publish your title in HTML format if you want to post it to the Internet or your own Intranet. When you publish in HTML, the program will create the necessary files for you to upload to a Web server.

Internet Explorer allows you to define which version's engine is used to render the content on a page. The Publisher automatically sets the compatibility mode for Internet Explorer to use the latest standard. This is equivalent to setting IE's compatibility to Edge mode. Edge-mode tells Internet Explorer to display content in the highest mode available. If a future release of Internet Explorer supports a higher compatibility mode, all pages set to Edge-mode will appear in the highest mode supported by that version. Other browsers are not affected.

When you publish to HTML, the actions in your title are converted to Web-based programming code, such as JavaScript. If your images are not already in .jpg or .gif format, they are automatically converted.

To publish your title to HTML, follow these steps:

Save your title.
On the Home ribbon, click the drop-down list under Publish in the Publish group and select Web (HTML). The program performs an error check and displays the results in the Publish Title to HTML window.

Resolve any errors within your title. If necessary, click Cancel and repeat steps 1 and 2 until your title is free of errors.
Click Publish when you are satisfied with the results of the error check. The Publish to HTML window opens.
Use the following tabs on the Publish Location window to specify your publishing settings:
Once you have completed configuring all of the publishing options, click OK. Your title is published to your local directory. When the publishing process has completed, click the FTP Title button to upload your title to the Web server specified. If you did not configure FTP settings, this option is not available.

Click the Done button to close the publishing window. When available, you can also click the Preview button to launch the published title. Use the pull-down on the Preview button to choose the browser or open the location of the published files.

Viewing the title from the local file system in Google Chrome will not honor Seamless Play publishing. The title will display as though using non-Seamless Play. To review the title with Seamless Play, use the Preview button to choose the browser. For information about enabling and disabling Seamless Play, see Specifying HTML options.

When you make changes to your title, you will need to republish it so the new changes are reflected in the published title. Repeat these steps as necessary to republish your title.
