Creating a “Sidebar”-Style Website
 
Choose the “sidebar”-style export option to create a website resembling NoteBook’s help system, where the browser window opens onto two frames: a narrow “sidebar” frame on the left listing page names, and a main frame where each page gets displayed. Clicking on a link in the sidebar frame displays the selected page in the main frame.
 


Choose the “Create a Sidebar” option to export the Notebook in sidebar-style.

When you export to HTML, NoteBook generates a sidebar-style website:
 


NoteBook builds the sidebar from the Notebook’s Contents page.

Clicking a page name in the sidebar loads the page’s contents in the browser window’s right side .

NoteBook generates the sidebar from your Notebook’s Contents page.  Typically the Contents page’s fonts are too large for the sidebar’s narrow width, so NoteBook reduces their size by the percentage specified in the HTML Export Inspector pane.  NoteBook won’t reduce any font to less than 11pt.
 
If you have one or more pages you don’t want to appear in the sidebar you can use the HTML Export Inspector pane to exclude them.
 
 
By The Way...

We generated this help system by exporting a Notebook to HTML in sidebar-style.
