Desol, la texte est en anglais.
================================



What to do with your exported HTML file now...


OvHTML's exporter does NOT provide you with a
finished HTML document - it simply assists you in
making websites from Ovation Pro documents. You
will still need to do a few things yourself. Here's
a list of the common modifications...


1. The images are saved alongside the exported file
   with uninspired names like:
     img01/jpeg
     img02/gif
   [etc]

   You'll probably want to put the images in the
   correct locations, and rename them. You'll need
   to edit the <img src...> stuff in the HTML in
   this case.


2. ArtWorks images are not supported - so you'll
   need to convert them to JPEG (or GIF?) by hand.


3. The exporter does not understand lists, headings,
   and suchlike, so you'll probably need to make a
   number of modifications here.


4. The text flow is linear (as it occurs in the
   document). If you had in-line text frames that
   only make context in a given place, you'll need
   to cut'n'paste this text.


5. Either remove the body background colour, or add
   text, link, alink, and vlink colours.


6. Edit the document <title>!


7. At the top of the document you'll see:
     <meta name="author" content=" ...
     <meta name="copyright" content=" ...
   Fill these in as is applicable.
   It is suggested that you incorporate your
   desired 'licence' into the copyright string,
   such as:
     This document is Copyright (c) 2003 <name>.
     Use for non-profit and education purposes
     explicitly granted.
   If you are unsure, seek the advice of legal
   counsel as to the exact wording to use. It's
   just a stupid Americanism anyway... :-)


8. Also at the top:
     <meta name="description" content=" ...
     <meta name="keywords" content=" ...
   Put in a description, and keywords. Please do
   not put in repeated keywords as the search
   engines will score you /less/ for doing that, so
   no good writing "sex sex sex sex sex sex sex" on
   a document about ADSL - the search engines won't
   like it, and the visitors who came looking for
   sex simply won't get turned on by pictures of a
   naked RJ45 plug... :-)


9. Finally:
     <meta name="rating" content="general">
   If you would like a PICS rating, please visit
     http://www.rsac.org/
   It is free, and simple to add (it's just another
   meta thing).

   I know some people are against censorship of any
   form, but people - it is a losing battle. There
   is hardly a day goes by without some 'scare' or
   other regarding the Internet and how it is
   apparently awash with pornography, perversions,
   terrorists, and psychopaths (and that's just on
   eBay :-) )... so we have to been seen to take a
   stand and self-rate our documents. Why? Because
   if we don't at least attempt to do something,
   then it makes it all the easier for brainless
   f***wits in suits to come along and do it for us.
   Yes, the Internet probably is awash in all those
   things, and yes you can download illegal tATu
   MP3s and DivX's of American Wedding, but through
   all the insanity is the basic premise that just
   about everything is available on-line, from the
   words of a song that you barely remember from
   your childhood, afound simply by typing part of
   the chorus into a search engine; hints on how to
   grow perfect shallots; and genuine no-questions-
   -asked help for people who have reached the end
   and want to kill themselves, but figure there's
   gotta be more to life. How much of /that/ do you
   imagine would survive a sanitisation of the
   Internet?

   And if that does not convince you to self-rate
   your documents, here is another good reason:
     You do NOT have to rate your documents to say
     that you have questionable material. Instead
     you can rate them as 'completely safe'. While
     the PICS rating may have a number of flaws, it
     is a start.
     You will find a PICS rating on my assembler
     programming site:
       http://www.heyrick.co.uk/assembler/
     for the basic reason that more than a few
     educational computers (ie: schools, colleges,
     and so on) will NOT let the student visit
     unrated sites. The obvious answer, give it a
     rating.

     Your choice.


And, after that and maybe a few other little tweaks,
your HTML document will be ready for uploading.


Thank you for using OvHTML.
