To start the batch publish process, choose Publish
from the File menu.
The Publish dialog displays the list of
available output formats.
The drop-down list at the
upper-left corner of the dialog displays the list of available content
source. Select the source file that for which you want to generate
the output.
You can choose to output an entire book (.book,
.ditamap) or a single document (.xml, .fm, .mif).
Important:
When you open the Publish dialog, the drop-down
list defaults to Current. This is the file currently in focus. Keep
in mind that if you change the focus to another file (book or document)
in your workspace, the newly selected file will be published.
-
In the Output text box at the bottom of the dialog, enter
(or browse to) a location to which to publish the output. Alternatively,
you can use the default location.
-
To batch publish or multiple output formats simultaneously,
click the Generate Multiple Outputs button.
The Generate Multiple
Outputs dialog displays a check list of available output formats.
In the
Generate Multiple Outputs dialog:
-
For the selected FrameMaker content, check the output formats
to which to publish and click Generate.
As soon as the Progress
dialog closes, notice that the Status column of the selected formats
is now set to Generated.
-
To view the output in the default applications (for example,
.html in a browser) for the selected formats, click View.
The procedure to batch publish to multiple output formats is
a quick 4-step process. However, the published outputs are of a
specific style with specific settings. For example, the color schemes
of the headings or the title of the document. You can change these
styles and settings using the settings options available in the
Publish Settings dialog. For details, see
Customizing
the publish output
in the Using FrameMaker guide.
