The
publishing feature produces a
hypertext-linked web
of HTML pages that
shows information about models. The published information mirrors the content
of the models
,
profiles, and packages and you can view the published information by
using a standard browser.
The
publishing process re-creates model elements, including diagrams, relationships,
and attributes. You can use the published links to traverse the model the
same way that you do in the modeling products.
Each published model is a separate, wholly contained
entity with its own root page. When you publish, an overview page is generated
that contains a link to the root page for each included model.
To publish
models to a hypertext-linked web
of HTML pages:
- Make sure that you are in the Data perspective.
- In the Data Project Explorer view, select
the model or model element to publish, and click .
- In the Publish to Web window, on
the General tab, select a level of detail:
- To show only the documentation that is associated with the element,
click Minimum.
- To also show properties and owned elements, click Full.
- Specify any of the following publishing options:
- In the Select folder to publish to field,
specify the destination folder for your published model.
- Click OK.
The publishing process starts and a progress bar is displayed.
When publishing completes, the output folder contains all the published HTML
files for the selected elements of the models.
If you selected the Automatically
display published output check box, the overview page of the published
content opens to display a link to each of the published model elements. Otherwise,
to view the published model, browse to the output folder that you specified
and open the index.html file.
