Publish for HTML Help Dialog Box

In this dialog box, choose your stylesheet to produce an HTML Help (.chm) file on Windows platforms only. You can view the file with Microsoft's HTML Help Viewer. If Queue Transaction is checked, Save As and View Help File are not available, as you'll be prompted for those when you retrieve the file from Arbortext Publishing Engine. For information on queuing, consult Using Arbortext Publishing Engine for Publishing Documents.

• Save As — Specifies the path and file name to which you want to save the HTML Help file. Click Browse to locate an existing file.

• View Help File — Opens the output document in the HTML Help Viewer after it is published. When turned off, published documents are not displayed.

If you select the View Help File option and your document file name includes an ampersand (& symbol), Arbortext Editor will respond that it cannot launch the HTML Help Viewer. Select Yes to publish with the viewer disabled, or No to cancel the publishing process.

• Stylesheet — Lists the stylesheets in the document and document type directories that you can apply to format your document. Click Browse to locate an existing stylesheet that does not appear in the list.

If you are Using Arbortext Publishing Engine for Publishing Documents, the list displays the notation (pe) preceding the stylesheet. These are the stylesheets available from the Arbortext PE server. Local stylesheets are ignored and you can't send one to the server with your document.

• DITAVAL File — Lists the DITAVAL files (.ditaval) you can apply when publishing the document.

This option is only available when you are publishing a DITA map or topic. The files in the list are from the current document directory, the document type directory for the current document, and from the DITA references path. If you are Using Arbortext Publishing Engine for Publishing Documents, the DITAVAL file in the list is from the local document type directory, not the document type directory on the Arbortext PE server.

• If your document has change tracking, you can publish the document in any of the change tracking states. By default, the change tracking view from the Edit window is selected, except when publishing from a DITA map.

If you are publishing a DITA map, Changes Applied is selected by default. When publishing from a DITA Map, the Change Tracking view that's selected applies only to the topics referenced from the DITA maps. The DITA map itself, as well as other referenced maps, will always be published with Changes Applied, regardless of the Change Tracking view selected (even if a map has change tracking markup).

◦ Changes with Highlighting — Shows all proposed changes, highlighted with revision marks.

◦ Changes Applied — Shows all proposed changes incorporated into the document, without revision marks.

◦ Original — Shows the original document without proposed changes incorporated into the document.

• Queue Transaction — Choosing to Queue Transaction clears Save As and View Help File values. Checking this box means you will be prompted for the Save As file name and whether to View Help File when you retrieve the result from your list of Queued Transactions, available from the Tools menu.

If you entered values in these fields, they will be displayed again if you clear the Queue Transaction check box. Queue Transaction behavior is controlled by a set of Arbortext Publishing Engine preferences.

• Transaction Name — Choosing to Queue Transaction enables you to enter a transaction name. The transaction name will be displayed when you retrieve the result from your list of Queued Transactions, available from the Tools menu.

You can enter transaction names to use by default or for specific output types by entering values in the Queued Transaction Names Dialog Box.

• Set Profiles — Opens the Set Profiles dialog box. If you have published the document previously in your current Arbortext Editor session, your last profile settings will be displayed. The Set Profiles button is only available if profiles have been configured for the selected document type.

• Create Rule— Opens Create New Publishing Rule where you can create a new publishing rule or rule set.
