Export a map as Web pages

MindManager offers the full spectrum of possibilities for Web export: from the quick and easy by using preformatted templates, to the completely custom by modifying existing templates, creating your own new templates, or using a custom MindManager Web template provided by a third-party vendor.

MindManager comes with a set of predefined web templates that can be used "as is" to create professional-looking web pages. The basic process is simple: you select a web template to determine how the pages will look, then export the pages so you can see the results in your browser.

Export you map as a set of web pages

  1. On the Export tab click Export as Web Pages. The Save as Web Pages dialog appears and shows you a preview of a generic page using the current style.

 If you do not see Export as Web Pages on the Export tab, you need to enable the Save as Web Pages add-in in MindManager.

  1. Optional Click Select Template to choose a different look and feel for your pages.

  2. Optional  Click Customize to change the options for the export.

  3. Optional Choose an Export folder for your html files. Click Delete Folder if you want to remove an older version of this folder (e.g. from a previous export).

  4. Click Save.

The pages will be exported and you can display them immediately in your browser by clicking Open.

In the Multimap View, you can quickly apply a new web template to the currently selected maps. Just select the maps, in the Assign group, click Web Template, select the template, and then click OK. Then, when you save the maps as web pages, they will automatically use the new template.

If you want to customize the output, MindManager offers an interface to many of the design parameters that are used by each template, for example you can enter your user info (e-mail address, web site, etc.), include headers and footers, edit the navigation labels, and more.

For even further customization, you can edit the files that make up the template directly. Depending on what you want to change, this may require knowledge of html, the use of cascading style sheets, and familiarity with MindManager macro files.

The Web page export information is saved with the map when it is saved. You can also save the customized web template for re-use on other maps.

Use the Save As command to create a simple outline in html format.
