When you publish model information to
a hypertext-linked web
of HTML pages, you
indicate the scope of data to include, how much about that data to include,
and where you want to save the published model.
Each published model is a separate, wholly contained entity with
its own root page. When you publish, an overview page is generated and it
contains a link to the root page for each included model.
To publish models to a hypertext-linked web
of HTML pages:
- In the Model Explorer view, select the projects, models, profiles,
and packages to
publish and click .
- In the Publish to Web window, select the level
of detail:
- Minimum to show only the documentation associated
with the element.
- Full to also show properties and owned elements.
- On the Options pane:
- Select Generate diagram image files to
generate diagrams. If this is cleared selected, no diagrams will
be generated and the publish content will just be text.
- If diagrams will be generated, select a diagram image file format:
- GIF: Graphics Interchange Format.
- BMP: Bitmap
- JPEG: Joint Photographic Experts Groups
- JPG: Joint Photographic Experts Groups (three
letter file extension)
- If you would like add a link to an external source, select Link
to external content and type the text to display on the overview
page, and specify the location of the link.
- Select Display element icons to include
the element icons in the navigation panes and public, protected, or private
status icons for the elements. If icons are not displayed, the
published content will appear more like Javadoc format and element status
will be represented with words.
- To display the overview page when publishing is complete, select
the Automatically display published output check box.
- To delete the old contents of the destination folder before publishing,
select the Always clean destination folder without asking check
box.
- Specify a destination folder in the Select folder to
publish to field.
- Click OK to publish the models or packages.
The publishing process starts and a progress bar is displayed. When
publishing completes, the output folder contains all the published HTML files
of 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 models that have been published.
