My apologies (adding insult to injury here, even though it's not really
my fault) - but I am no longer double-posting to dna-newbie, I just
checked - and it's just to this list that messages appear twice. I wish
I knew why but it would seem it's not a problem on my end. If someone
thinks otherwise, I'd be glad to troubleshoot it.

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

convert is encoded in order to change it to UTF-8 - is something
I
can find out from Legacy, do you know?

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

I have no idea.
I don't do web pages.
I just know where the various options for HTML

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.

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

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,
