Specifying HTML options

Use the HTML Options tab to specify a number of different publishing options:

Destination Folder

Specify the directory in which you want to save the resulting files of the published title. Click the Choose Folder button to navigate and select a location.

This directory listing is for local or network locations, not the Internet. The program will automatically create the files in a new folder in the same working directory as the .awt title file, unless otherwise specified.

Publish all pages

Select this to publish all the pages and resources regardless of whether they have been updated.

Publish only updated pages

Select this to publish only the pages and resources that have been updated since your title was last published. This option is only available if you have previously published the title.

Create a zip file Select this to compress all files into a single Zip file.

File name of first page

Specify the HTML page name of the first page of your title. By default, this is index.html.

Use Lightbox Pop Ups

Select this to display pop-up windows using a Lightbox-style window. This options is enabled by default.

If you disable this option, pop ups will be displayed in a new browser window and your users might encounter issues with pop-up blockers.

Create ALT tags for images and buttons

This option is selected by default and will create ALT tags for all images and buttons in the title. ALT tags are created based on the names that are used in your title's Title Explorer. ALT tags are used by screen readers to identify the image or button.

Protect content (disables copying content)

If this option is selected, the program will eliminate the functionality of keyboard shortcuts such as copy and paste, as well as equivalent right-click menu options within the browser so users cannot easily copy content material.

Disable browser resize of published content

For responsive titles, select this to prevent non-desktop views from being displayed when the browser window is re-sized. For details about creating responsive content, see Working with responsive content.

Include Title Manager Frame

This option enables you to store all variable data locally, instead of within the browser's cookies. It is suggested to select this option if your title contains a large number of questions or variables. Selecting this will increase your title's performance if your title contains a significant number of questions or variables.

Convert page names to short ID-based names

This option will only default as selected when the program encounters a page name with a multi-byte international character. This option will use the page’s unique internal number so that the generated HTML page names are compatible with Web browsers.

Publish for Seamless Play

This option is selected by default and provides for auto-playing of media and smooth flow from page to page, eliminating the screen wipe commonly associated with HTML pages.

For learners using Internet Explorer, Internet Explorer 10 or newer is required to experience the benefits of Seamless Play.

 

If the Web accessibility settings are enabled, the Publish for Seamless Play option is disabled. For more information about Web accessibility, see Preparing a title for accessibility and Creating Web-based, accessible content (Section 508/WCAG).

HTML5 only (no Flash included) If this option is selected, the Flash media player (.swf) files are not included in the published content.

Protect content (disables copying content)

If this option is selected, the Publisher will eliminate the functionality of keyboard shortcuts such as copy and paste, as well as equivalent right-click menu options within the browser so users cannot easily copy content material.

Disable browser resize of published content

For responsive titles, select this to prevent non-desktop views from being displayed when the browser window is re-sized. For details about creating responsive content, see Working with responsive content.

Scale content to fill window

If this option is selected, your content will fill the full size of the browser. Enable the Fit content to width check box if you want your content to fill the browser based on the width of the browser.

To scale content on mobile devices, see Scale content to fill mobile device view (RCD only).
  For the best results possible, use a larger, high-resolution image in the title and then size it appropriately for the page. When the image is published with Scale content to fill window enabled, as the image is zoomed, it gets closer to the original size and will still look crisp. Disabling Optimize published image sizes when scaling will also help. This ensures Lectora Inspire will keep the original size with the published content.
Scale content to fill mobile device view (RCD only) For responsive titles, if this option is selected, your content will fill the full size of the browser for mobile devices. For details about creating responsive content, see Working with responsive content.

Debug Published Content

Select this to debug your title within its published format. If this option is selected and you launch your published title, an additional debug window will launch, displaying all of the variable interactions and actions executed within the published title. When this option is selected, the Debug Options button is enabled. Click the button to configure the type of information you want to see in the debug window.
