Publishing a Notebook as a Website   You can turn any Notebook into a website, which you can then share with other computer users.     Publishing a Notebook Website to Your Hard Disk Choose File → Export as a Website → To Disk... to display the website export sheet. By default, NoteBook places the Notebook’s website components in the Sites folder in your home folder, in a folder with the Notebook’s name.  You can export all pages, a page range, or just the current page. The web version looks and behaves like the original Notebook - you can even still expand and collapse cells in the page’s outline. If a page has attachments, NoteBook copies them all into the website export folder.  Clicking the attachment’s icon displays or downloads the attachment. Whenever you change your Notebook you can update the website version by choosing File → Export as a Website → Export Changes. NOTES: Web pages have no notion of a “ruler,” so there are no tab-stops in the Notebook web pages.  If you use tabs to create columns within a Notebook page, web browsers will most-likely not display the columns correctly.  If you assign a password to your Notebook, the web version will not be password-protected.  NoteBook cannot generate web versions of a Notebook’s Index pages.     Creating a “Sidebar”-style Website You can set a Notebook to export as “sidebar”-style website, where the browser window opens onto two frames: a narrow “sidebar” frame on the left listing page names, and a main frame where each page gets displayed. Clicking on a link in the sidebar frame displays the selected page in the main frame.   In the Notebook section of the Export pane of the Actions Inspector (Window → Inspector), choose “Create a Sidebar”. NoteBook builds the sidebar from the Notebook’s Contents page. Typically the Contents page’s fonts are too large for the sidebar’s narrow width, so NoteBook reduces their size by the percentage specified in the Export pane in the Inspector.  NoteBook won’t reduce any font to less than 11pt. If you have one or more pages you don’t want to appear in the sidebar you can use the Export Inspector pane to exclude them.     Notes About Lined Paper Styles and Other Page Backgrounds Because of limitations in web pages, if a page has a lined paper style, only the left margin line carries over to its website version.  In addition, if a page has a background image, that image only appears in the website if the image is “tiled.”  The background image will not appear if it’s scaled or centered. You can use the Page Output section of the Export pane in the Actions Inspector (Window → Inspector) to customize the look of exported pages.  For example, you can choose not to export the page background or the page curl control.     Notes About Image Attachments and Their Thumbnails If an attachment contains a PDF document, clicking the image thumbnail in the web page initiates a download of the original PDF document.  If an attachment contains another type of image file, such as a PNG or JPEG, clicking the image thumbnail in the web page does nothing.  You can change this behavior in the Website Export Thumbnail Image Settings sheet.  To access the sheet, Control-click an attachment and choose Website Export Thumbnail Image Settings... from the contextual menu that appears.  In the sheet that appears you can specify what happens when the user clicks the attachment’s image in the website: open the original document, for example. For JPEG images, you can control the thumbnail image’s file size by setting its compression factor.  This compression setting does not affect the original JPEG document, only the thumbnail.     Publishing a Notebook Website Using a CD You can give users on other computers a copy of your Notebook website by storing it to a CD.  Drag the website folder from its location on your computer’s hard drive to a blank CD, and then burn the CD.  To view the website from the CD, double-click the index.html file within the website on the CD.  You can view the Notebook website on any Mac, PC or Linux computer with a CD drive.     Publishing a Notebook to MobileMe or an FTP Account When you choose  File → Export as a Website → To Disk..., NoteBook places the results on your computer’s hard drive.  If you want to publish the results to the Internet, you must use a file transfer program to upload them to a web server.  You can skip the hard drive step completely by publishing directly to your MobileMe account or an FTP or SFTP account. Choosing File → Export as a Website → To the Web... creates a website from your Notebook and stores it directly into your MobileMe account or FTP or SFTP server.  When you export to MobileMe, NoteBook places the results in the Sites folder of your MobileMe account. When exporting to FTP or SFTP, NoteBook asks for your account information and the export destination folder in your account.  NoteBook creates a folder with the site name within the destination folder, and places the website in that new folder.
