Thanks, Ian. I will download TextPad 7 tonight at home and see if I
can figure out how to do this. Since it is not a matter of changing
the file extension, I am not sure what is involved. I wonder if I
need to know how the file I'm trying to convert is encoded in order to
change it to UTF-8 - is something I can find out from Legacy, do you know?

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).

Okay, thanks. I'll do some research on UTF-8 encoded text files.

Sorry.
I have no idea.
I don't do web pages.
I just know where the various options for HTML output are in
Legacy.

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?
Thanks,

Barton,
Why aren't you using the option of creating the Book
report in
HTML format and then editing that to add more?
The option is in the same place you found the RTF option.

Isn't there an option to publish web pages? 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. Or did I miss the point?

Thanks, Jennie, but no, I have not tried that as I
want to actually
enter the data as code (html) into my webpage.
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 am trying to figure out how to create

include the 1st 4 generations of my lines along
with other
data (images, narrative etc.) on individual pages.
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. Thanks,
Barton
