Re: Using Review Board for HTML reviews

[Christian Hammond]

Hi Jonathan,

We don’t currently have support for reviewing rendered HTML, at least not
in any ideal way. This is mostly because of the security issues involved
with hosting user-provided HTML content.

We do offer the ability to download the file, view it locally in your
browser, and write a file-level comment, but that’s not the best experience.

Trick with HTML is that you often still need the CSS and images at a
minimum, and possibly some JavaScript with it.

If you don’t mind printing to PDF, you can use Power Pack’s PDF review
capabilities to render it (https://www.reviewboard.org/powerpack/), which
might be a viable option. That would provide the experience I think you’d
want, though with the print-to-PDF step.

Using Review Board for HTML reviews

[Jonathan Winer]

We're evaluating code review tools and trying to determine if we use a 
documentation tool such as madcap flare which produces HTML output, can we 
view the rendered HTML within your code review tool?  Trying to find a way 
to review the rendered output so that it is reader friendly vs the markup 
since this would be used for the documentation team, not the development 
team.

Thanks.
