The Customize command in the Save as Web Pages dialog lets you modify design parameters that are associated with the template. You can customize the navigation depth, pagination (topic depth on the pages) and standard content used for the exported pages on the fly. The set of parameters that you can change is determined by the web template layout and content. The Mindjet templates offer about 30 settings to influence the major look and feel of the web pages. You can usually get the result you want by modifying these options.
The Pagination and Navigation settings let you choose the navigation depth and pagination to use with the current template. These options depend on the template layout. For some templates, these options do not apply or may be mutually dependent.
The Pagination refers to how the map is divided, by topic levels, into individual Web pages. This can range from all content appearing on a single page, to using a separate page for each topic down to a certain level, to using a separate page for every map topic.
Navigation Depth refers to how detailed the navigation outline is.
The Advanced Settings tab gives you access to the design parameters used by the template. These will vary depending on the template you've chosen. Information for each parameter is shown at the bottom of the dialog when you select a parameter, explaining its purpose and use.
If you want to save these changes in a new template file so it is available to use on other maps, use the Template Organizer's Add New Web Template option.
The Editing Templates tab lets you achieve further customization by editing the files that make up the web template directly. The web export is almost completely defined by external macros and template files, making this modifiable and extensible by the advanced user or third-parties. Each template consists of a set of CSS style sheets, HTML templates and MindManager macros. If you are familiar with modifying these types of files you can edit them to fit your needs. Click the Open Web Template Folder button to see the folder containing the files.
Since the export templates all use CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) technology, many of the features of an export can be "tweaked” by CSS-savvy users simply by editing the CSS file(s) in the template (or the final generated output). And minor modifications can be made to the HTML template files without having to touch the macros.
