Tips for using iPublish
iNotePad is not an HTML editor, so don't expect too much from the iPublish feature!
On Mac OS X 10.4+, iPublish uses Mac OS X WebKit to convert your RTF data to HTML data.
Here are some tips for making the most out of iPublish:
- When iPublishing a note, iNotePad will try to keep attributes such as style (bold, italic, ...), size (small, normal, large, ...) intact.
- On Mac OS X 10.4, iNotePad uses inline CSS to set the attributes. If your template defines its own CSS, iNotePad will use it instead.
- Carriage returns are converted to line break tags (<br>).
- Embedded images are supported only on Mac OS X 10.4+
- Links (Mac OS X 10.3 and later) which have been entered in the body of a note, will be iPublished as active HTML links.
- To build the Web page, iNotePad uses HTML templates. You may modify the default template, or add your own. Read here about how to build your own templates.
Raw html code
- In a note, you may include raw html code, published as is without any conversion, by enclosing it between the tags <html> </html>. (Not available in Mac OS X 10.4+)
- You may also publish an entire note as raw html: enclose the full note between the tags <html> </html>. The tag <html> must be the first characters of the notes.
- In both cases, the tags <html></html> themselves won't be published.
Example 1:
Some styled text <html>½</html> some styled text
will be published as
<p><b>Some styled text </b>½<i> some styled text</i></p>
Example 2:
<html><p>Here's a list:</p>
<ul><li>an item</li>
<li>another item</li>
</ul>
</html>
will be published as
<p>Here's a list:</p>
<ul><li>an item</li>
<li>another item</li>
</ul>
