Files can be exported in standard 'HTML' format to create a WEB page for the Internet - see below - and as MIME-encoded HTML (e.g. for email: see MHT file export).
| 1. | Choose Export... from the 'File' menu. |
| 3. | To avoid a new file overwriting an existing file with the same name, tick Do not overwrite files: see Overwriting files. |
| 4. | Choose HTML document - WEB page as the 'Format'. |
| 5. | The filename *.HTM is supplied, and will create an HTML file with the same filename and location as the original document. To create a different filename or extension, type in the new name or use wildcards. To select a different folder for storing the file, use the Browse button. Note that if you enter the location of your web server here, the file will be directly available to the Internet. |
| 6. | Tick the Force monochrome checkbox if required. Click HTML options... to configure more HTML export options. |
| 7. | Tick Run the associated program after creating the file if you want EscapeE to open the file immediately using your preferred program, e.g. Internet Explorer®. See Associated programs. |
| 8. | If you have defined data fields on the pages, EscapeE can create a .LOG file automatically: |
| • | Comma separated (default) |
| o | Further Log file options may be set up from the 'Log File' page of the Configuration dialog: click Log file.... |
| 9. | Click OK to export the pages. |

Notes
The document is output as a file written in HyperText Mark-up Language, suitable for display by a web browser. There is an option to output the document as XHTML i.e. the HTML is written using XML so that all elements start and end in a standardized way.
Documents typically require other resources (e.g. images); these must be stored in separate files, potentially in a different directory.
To print HTML documents created by EscapeE and containing vertical lines, ensure that "Print background colors and images" from the "Printing" section of IE's "Tools | Internet options...| Advanced" dialog is selected.
