Exporting HTML

Method library content can be exported and subsequently imported in HTML format. The exported file tree is similar to a method library, but the file extensions will be .html rather than .xmi. This feature is useful for translation and large-scale copy-editing.

About this task

If the exported files are copy-edited, care must be taken to not change the HTML comments. These comments are critical to the import process and must not be altered in any way. This includes all header and footer tags.

Note that the copy-edited files must be saved with UTF-8 encoding. Failure to use UTF-8 may cause the import feature to not work properly, especially in non-English environments.

Exported files can be deleted. The element they represent will not be affected during the subsequent import.

Note that the Import HTML feature does not create new method elements. It can only change the content of existing elements.

Procedure

  1. Click File and click export icon Export.
  2. Click HTML icon HTML and click Next.
  3. Select a destination directory. You have the option of adding internationalization markers and comments.
  4. Click Finish. The export process begins. This may take several seconds depending on the size of the content being exported.

Results

A confirmation window opens when the export process is finished. Any errors encountered during the export will be reported.
