Publication View

If in the event tree an item is selected that has a publication associated with it, the publication view will be visible, displaying this publication. However, if the publication is not actually generated yet, a blank view is displayed rather than the publication view. The exact publication that is shown also depends on the currently set profile.

Publications are in the form of separate HTML files, which is the leading internet document file type. Therefore the publication view is in fact an internet browser.

While the publication view is visible, the following functions are available:

• Print
  Through Print... in the File menu you can print the publication that is currently displayed.
• Print preview
  Through Print preview... in the File menu you can open a print preview window for the publication that is currently displayed.
• Page setup
  Through Page setup... in the File menu you can change the paper type, orientation and margin as well as header and footer contents for printing of publications from the publication view.
• Find
  Through Find... in the Edit menu you can search for text strings within the publication that is currently displayed.
• Clipboard
  Through Copy in the Edit menu you can copy text that is selected in a displayed publication to the Windows clipboard.
• Select all
  Through Select all in the Edit menu you can select the entire contents of the publication that is currently displayed.
• Font Smaller/Larger
  Through Font in the View menu you can increase or decrease the size of fonts that are displayed. This only works if configured as such in HTML settings.
• Refresh
  Through Refresh in the View menu you can refresh the publication view so that it reloads the publication that is currently displayed.
• Info
  Through Info on publication... in the View menu you can invoke a dialog showing information about the file of the publication that is currently displayed.
• Read-only
  Through Read-only publication in the Generate menu you can set the publication that is currently displayed to be read-only, so that it is not overwritten when regenerating.
• Edit externally
  Through Edit publication externally in the Tools menu you can edit the publication that is currently displayed in an external editor.

Note that existing publications are regenerated in the background and reloaded at the existing scroll position, which gives an optimal viewing experience.
