Exporting a Web page

To export the active Web layout as an HTML page:

  1. Choose File > Export > Layout as HTML, Layout as XHTML 1.1, or Layout as XSLT 1.0. The Export HTML dialog box displays.

    Use the Export HTML dialog box to control options for formatting exported Web layouts.

  2. Navigate to the folder where you want to store the exported files. This does not need to be the same folder as the one specified in the Site Root Directory field in the Web Layout > General pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu).
  3. Choose an option from the Export as drop-down menu:
    • HTML: Exports the page in HTML 4.0 Transitional format. This is a good option for maximum compatibility with existing browsers.
    • XHTML 1.1: Exports the page in XHTML 1.1 format. Choose this option if you want to adhere to the XHTML 1.1 format and create an HTML file that is also a valid XML file. Note that this format is not currently supported by all browsers.
    • XSLT: Generates XSL transformations in an XSL file containing XML nodes. These XSL transformations, when applied to XML using an XSLT processor, can produce an HTML file (XHTML 1.1 compliant) representing the XML data in your Web browser window.
  4. Enter a page range in the Pages field or choose an option from the Pages drop-down menu.
  5. Choose an option from the Encoding drop-down menu:
    • If you are exporting a page that contains characters with multiple encodings (such as different languages with different language fonts), choose Unicode (UTFx).
    • If you are exporting a page that uses only a single encoding (such as a single language with a single language font), choose the corresponding encoding from this drop-down menu.
  6. Check External CSS File to specify that the style information in the exported Web layout will be stored as a CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) file in the export folder.
  7. Check Launch Browser to display the first exported page in your default browser.
  8. Click Export.
