If you need to change code page (of a .txt or .html or other text file) there are free to use text editors like TextPad 7 in which you can open the file, then save as a different code page (eg UTF-8).

I'll do some research on UTF-8 encoded text files. Barton On Mon, Jan 09, 2017 at 11:31 PM, Cathy Pinner wrote: Sorry. I have no idea. I don't do web pages.

Cathy BARTON LEWIS wrote: Hi Cathy, I tried that, but when I tried to open the page in my code editor (Brackets), I got a message saying "Brackets currently only supports UTF-8 encoded text files." I wonder if it's worth it to try a different code editor? I assume that if I used one that were able to open the page, it would already be formatted for me and I could make global changes more easily than if I were trying to do so "from scratch," is that true?

In the Internet menu -- there are all kinds of formats for the web pages you want -- you can customize them in so many ways Wouldn't that be much simpler? Just one click and it is done, without having to do any editing, although you can do that too, if you like.

But I think I found the solution: if I export to rtf as a descendant book, as opposed to descendant narrative book, I do get tabs and spaces, each with a unique format depending on the generation. So I should be able to use either CSS or JS to manipulate the text into a particular format of my choosing.

I exported a descendant book report to RTF. The result is a report which reta ins formatting but uses ruler indents and if I just copy that text into a text editor, I will have to manually form at a lot of it using css. I was hoping to perhaps use Javascript to somehow format levels of text differently but I am not proficient in that language and don't know if I can do that. If anyone has had experience coding their own register reports to create cutom-styled formatting for the web, I would be interested in hearing.
