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.
