See TB11-HTML-export.zip (4.5 MB)
This is from the ZIP’s README file:
There are 9 exercises, each building on previous ideas. so please, open each exercise’s TBX in order and follow the instructions in the ‘HOW TO USE’ note.
Sample HTML export for each exercise is provided as a zip file but you will get most value by doing the exercises before looking at the examples.
This demo shows the basics of HTML [sic] export. The reference to ‘HTML’ is mainly historical as export is possible using other forms of mark-up (XML, JSON, CSS, etc.) but those formats and how they are marked up in templates are beyond the scope of this demo. These demos only use HTML files and do not deal with supplementary files such as CSS.
Enjoy. ![]()
Before exporting a file for the first time, you will be asked for an export location: by default, Tinderbox suggests the users /Documents. folder. This not what you to want for this demo, so it is important to set the output to the ‘export’ folder of this set of demo files and the appropriate sub-folder for the exercise in use..
Once given a location, the TBX file will remember the location if used again on the same Mac (or in the same OS account of a different Mac). When you unpack the ZIP the folder set includes an ‘export’ folder within which there is a discrete folder numbered for each exercise.
Note that the HTML export process does not over-write pages that have already been exported and which are unchanged. However, the change relates to changes to $Text or $Name content (i.e. that the source note has been modified). When testing export, you are often only changing the export template’s code so it is useful to delete any previously exported pages before doing a fresh export, or pick a new export folder (if you want to compare versions of the export). This avoids cases where you change the template and export but the changes seem to be missing (hint: because only the template changed).
These demos were created with Tinderbox v11.5.2b721 on OS 26.3. and are based upon a suite of demos originally written for Tinderbox v7.
