Metatags When Canvas creates an HTML file from a document, it uses meta tags in the HTML file header to include data entered in the document Properties dialog box. This data includes information such as Title, Subject Keywords, Author, and Category from the fields on the Sum- mary tab for the Canvas document. How images are handled Canvas uses compression and color reduction to optimize images for faster display on Web pages. All graphic objects are exported as RGB images either in GIF format or JPEG format. You have the option to choose the image format or you may allow Canvas to decide this option for you (see “Image Options” on page 14.208). When you select Automatic from the Image format menu, Canvas exports RGB Color and CMYK Color images as RGB (24-bit) images using JPEG compression. Indexed mode images, which use a maximum of 8 bits of color information per pixel, are exported in GIF format. Black and White images are exported as Indexed (8-bit) images. Canvas exports Grayscale images as Indexed 8-bit images or JPEG-compressed RGB images, using the format that it determines will produce the best results. How slices are exported If slices are available in the Canvas document at the time of HTML export, then Canvas will design the document layout to conform to the slices. Canvas will also accept an individual slice’s setting when it renders and names the images (see “Exporting Slices” on page 14.198 and “Slicer Export Options dialog box” on page 14.198). Note: Slices are used only when Table Layout is activated. How animated GIFs and Web buttons are handled Animated GIFs are exported without changes. In other words, one GIF file will be produced for each animated GIF object. One image for each Web button’s state will be exported. This group of images will be linked together using Java scripting. You cannot overlap these objects in the Table Layout mode. If that happens, then an Animated GIF or Web button will be rendered and
