Exporting to HTML

You can export the current module, or the current module and all the modules that have links to or from it. The exported HTML includes any pictures in the modules, and pictorial representations of any OLE objects in the modules. Any Unicode or international data is included in the export.

Before you begin

Save the module so that the data you export includes any recent changes.

Note: If you are using Firefox, you cannot export the symbol font to HTML. This limitation is the result of a known issue with Firefox. For information about a workaround, see the Mozilla website.

About this task

You can export the current view in book layout, which lists the attributes on separate lines, or in table format. Use table format to display the data as it is in Rational® DOORS®.

If you export link information, you can select icons to identify the type of each hyperlink in the HTML file that is generated.

You can include change meters. Change meters indicate the age of the module, the age of the object and the number of changes that have been made to the object. For example:
change meter in Rational DOORS
  • The blue rectangle represents the age of the module.
  • The red rectangle represents the age of the object and when it was last modified relative to the age of the module. In the example, the object was created halfway through the life of the module, and was last modified today. So, if the module was created four days ago, the object was created two days ago.
  • The gray box displays the number of times the object has been modified.

You can include attributes that do not have a value. If the view that you are exporting has auto-indentation switched on, you can preserve the auto-indentation in the HTML that is generated.
