About Customized Publish to Web Templates

You can create customized templates to use in the Publish to Web wizard by modifying one of the provided Publish to Web (PWT) templates.

Use a HTML or text editor to customize any of the default Publish to Web templates:
  • Array of Thumbnails. Creates a web page containing an array of thumbnail images.
  • Array Plus Summary. Creates a web page containing an array of thumbnail images and summary information about each image.
  • List of Drawings. Creates a web page containing a list of drawings and an image frame.
  • List Plus Summary. Creates a web page containing a list of drawings, an image frame, and summary information about a selected image.

You must be familiar with HTML syntax to customize the Publish to Web templates.

To customize a template, add or modify any of the following:
  • Images
  • Text
  • Hyperlinks
  • Color
  • Title
  • Video, animation, and so on

You can make changes or additions to the look and feel of a template, but you cannot change the arrangement of images within it. For example, in the Array of Thumbnails template, the images are presented across the page in rows. You cannot alter the presentation of the images, but you can wrap text and graphics around the table of images.

Note: To ensure that you do not overwrite the default Publish to Web template files, back up those files before you make any changes to them.
