Writer’s HTML capabilities include saving existing documents in HTML format, creating new documents as HTML (not described here), and creating several different types of web pages using a wizard.

The easiest way to create HTML documents is to start with an existing Writer document. You can get a good idea of how it will appear as a web page by using '''View > Web Layout'''. However, web layout view will not show you which features will or won’t save correctly to HTML. Some considerations are described in the introduction to this chapter.

==Saving a document as a single web page==

To save a document as a single web page (HTML format), choose '''File > Save As''' and specify HTML Document as the file type.

{{Documentation/Note|Writer does not replace multiple spaces in the original document with the HTML code for non-breaking spaces. If you want to have extra spaces in your HTML file or web page, you need to insert non-breaking spaces in OOo. To do this, press ''Control+Spacebar'' instead of just ''Spacebar''.}}

==Saving a document as a series of web pages==

Writer can save a large document as a series of web pages (HTML files) with a table of contents page. To do this:

# Decide which headings in the document should start on a new page and make sure all those headings have the same style (for example, Heading 1).
# Choose '''File > Send > Create HTML Document'''.
# In the dialog (Figure 4), type the file name to save the pages under. Also specify which style indicates a new page (as decided in step 1).
# Click '''Save''' to create the multi-page HTML document. (For those who may be interested, the resulting HTML files conform to the HTML 4 Transitional.)

==Creating web pages using a Wizard==

OOo's Web wizard allows you to create several types of standard web pages. To use it:

#Choose '''File > Wizards > Web Page'''. On the first page of the Wizard, choose settings and click '''Next'''.
{{Documentation/Note| If this is your first web page, the only choice is ''default''.}}[[Image:WebWizard1.png|thumb|none|600px|Figure 5. Web page wizard step 1.]]
2. Choose or browse to the document you would like to format. The ''Title, Summary'' and ''Author'' information is picked up from the document’s properties; if necessary, edit it. Click '''Next'''. [[Image:WebWizard2.png|thumb|none|600px|Figure 6. Web page wizard step 2.]]
3. Chose a layout for the web site by clicking on the layout boxes. Click '''Next.''' [[Image:WebWizard3.png|thumb|none|600px|Figure 7. Web page wizard step 3.]]
4. Chose the information to be listed and the screen resolution. Click '''Next.'''
[[Image:WebWizard4.png|thumb|none|600px|Figure 8. Web page wizard step 4.]]
5. Select a style for the page. Use the drop-down list to choose different styles and color combinations. You can browse to a background image and icon set from the Gallery. Click '''Next'''. [[Image:WebWizard5.png|thumb|none|600px|Figure 9. Web page wizard step 5.]]
6. Enter general information such as Title and HTML Metadata information. Click''' Next'''. [[Image:WebWizard6.png|thumb|none|600px|Figure 10. Web page wizard step 6.]]
7. Chose where to save the file and preview the page if you wish. Click '''Finish'''. [[Image:WebWizard7.png|thumb|none|600px|Figure 11. Web page wizard step 7.]]

To edit or view the document's underlying HTML code, open the document, and then choose '''View > HTML Source''' or click the '''HTML Source''' icon [[Image:HTMLSourceIcon.png]] on the Main toolbar.

To edit an existing link, click anywhere in the link text and then click the '''Hyperlink''' icon on the Standard toolbar or choose''' Edit > Hyperlink''' from the menu bar. The Hyperlink dialog opens. Make your changes and click''' Apply'''. If you need to edit several hyperlinks, you can leave the Hyperlink dialog open until you have edited all of them. Be sure to click '''Apply''' after each one. When you are finished, click '''Close'''.

The standard (default) behavior for activating hyperlinks within OOo is to use '''Ctrl+click'''. This behavior can be changed in '''Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > Security > Options''', by deselecting the option '''Ctrl-click required to follow hyperlinks'''. If clicking in your links activates them, check that page to see if the option has been deselected.

===Removing hyperlinks===
You can remove the clickable link from hyperlink text — leaving just the text — by right-clicking on the link and selecting '''Default Formatting'''. This option is also available from the '''Format''' menu. You may then need to re-apply some formatting in order for the text to match the rest of your document.

To erase the link text or button from the document completely, select it and press the ''Backspace'' or ''Delete'' key.

When you type text (such as a website addresses or URL) that can be used as a hyperlink, and then press the spacebar or the ''Enter key'', OOo automatically creates the hyperlink and applies formatting to the text (usually a color and underlining). If this does not happen, you can enable this feature using '''Tools > AutoCorrect Options > Options''' and selecting the '''URL Recognition''' option.

If you do not want OOo to convert a specific URL to a hyperlink, choose '''Edit > Undo Insert''' from the menu bar or press ''Control+Z'' immediately after the formatting has been applied.

{{Documentation/Tip|To change the color of hyperlinks, go to '''Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > Appearance''', scroll to ''Unvisited links'' and/or ''Visited links'', pick the new colors and click '''OK'''. {{Documentation/Caution| This will change the color for all hyperlinks in all components of OpenOffice.org; this may not be what you want.}}
In Writer and Calc (but not Draw or Impress), you can also change the Internet link character style or define and apply new styles to selected links.}}

You can also insert hyperlinks using the Navigator and the Hyperlink dialog, and you can modify all hyperlinks using the Hyperlink dialog as described in this section.

==Using the Hyperlink dialog==
To display the dialog, click the '''Hyperlink''' icon [[Image:HyperlinkIcon.png]] on the Standard toolbar or choose '''Insert > Hyperlink''' from the menu bar. To turn existing text into a link, highlight it before opening the dialog.
On the left side, select one of the four categories of hyperlink:
*'''Internet''': the hyperlink points to a web address, normally starting with http://
*'''Mail & News''': the hyperlink opens an email message that is pre-addressed to a particular recipient
*'''Document''': the hyperlink points to another document or to another place in the current document
*'''New document''': the hyperlink creates a new document

[[Image:HyperlinkDialog.png|thumb|none|500px|Figure 2. Hyperlink dialog showing details for Internet links.]]

The top right part of the dialog changes according to the choice made for the hyperlink category in the left panel. A full description of all the choices and their interactions is beyond the scope of this chapter. Here is a summary of the most common choices.

For an'' Internet'' hyperlink, choose the type of hyperlink (Web, FTP, or Telnet), and enter the required web address (URL).

For a'' Mail and News'' hyperlink, specify whether it is a mail or news link, the receiver’s address, and for email, also the subject.

For a'' Document'' hyperlink, specify the document path (the '''Open File''' button opens a file browser) or leave this blank if you want to link to a target in the same document. Optionally specify the target in the document (for example a specific slide). Click on the '''Target in Document''' icon to open the Navigator where you can select the target; or if you know the name of the target, you can type it into the box.

For a ''New Document'' hyperlink, specify whether to edit the newly created document immediately ('''Edit now''') or just create it ('''Edit later'''), enter the file name, and select the type of document to create (text, spreadsheet, and so on). Click the '''Select Path''' button to open a file browser and choose where to store the file.

The'' Further settings'' section in the bottom right part of the dialog is common to all the hyperlink categories, although some choices are more relevant to some types of links.
*Set the value of '''Frame''' to determine how the hyperlink will open. This applies to documents that open in a Web browser.
*'''Form''' specifies if the link is to be presented as text or as a button. Figure 3 shows a link formatted as a button. A hyperlink button is a type of form control. See Chapter 15 of the '''Writer Guide''' for more information.

*'''Text''' specifies the text that will be visible to the user. If you do not enter anything here, OOo uses the full URL or path as the link text. Note that if the link is relative and you move the file, this text will not change, though the target will.

*'''Name''' is applicable to HTML documents. It specifies text that will be added as a NAME attribute in the HTML code behind the hyperlink.

*'''Events''' button : click this button to open the Assign Macro dialog and choose a macro to run when the link is clicked. See Chapter 13 (Getting Started with Macros) for more information.

The'' Further settings'' section in the bottom right part of the dialog is common to all the hyperlink categories, although some choices are more relevant to some types of links.
*Set the value of '''Frame''' to determine how the hyperlink will open. This applies to documents that open in a Web browser.
*'''Form''' specifies if the link is to be presented as text or as a button. Figure 3 shows a link formatted as a button. A hyperlink button is a type of form control. See Chapter 15 of the '''Writer Guide''' for more information.

*'''Text''' specifies the text that will be visible to the user. If you do not enter anything here, OOo uses the full URL or path as the link text. Note that if the link is relative and you move the file, this text will not change, though the target will.

*'''Name''' is applicable to HTML documents. It specifies text that will be added as a NAME attribute in the HTML code behind the hyperlink.

*'''Events''' button : click this button to open the Assign Macro dialog and choose a macro to run when the link is clicked. See Chapter 13 (Getting Started with Macros) for more information.

When you type text (such as a website addresses or URL) that can be used as a hyperlink, and then press the spacebar or the ''Enter key'', OOo automatically creates the hyperlink and applies formatting to the text (usually a color and underlining). If this does not happen, you can enable this feature using '''Tools > AutoCorrect Options > Options''' and selecting the '''URL Recognition''' option.

If you do not want OOo to convert a specific URL to a hyperlink, choose '''Edit > Undo Insert''' from the menu bar or press ''Control+Z'' immediately after the formatting has been applied.

{{Documentation/Tip|To change the color of hyperlinks, go to '''Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > Appearance''', scroll to ''Unvisited links'' and/or ''Visited links'', pick the new colors and click '''OK'''. {{Documentation/Caution| This will change the color for all hyperlinks in all components of OpenOffice.org; this may not be what you want.}}
In Writer and Calc (but not Draw or Impress), you can also change the Internet link character style or define and apply new styles to selected links.}}

You can also insert hyperlinks using the Navigator and the Hyperlink dialog, and you can modify all hyperlinks using the Hyperlink dialog as described in this section.

==Using the Hyperlink dialog==
To display the dialog, click the '''Hyperlink''' icon [[Image:HyperlinkIcon.png]] on the Standard toolbar or choose '''Insert > Hyperlink''' from the menu bar. To turn existing text into a link, highlight it before opening the dialog.
On the left side, select one of the four categories of hyperlink:
*'''Internet''': the hyperlink points to a web address, normally starting with http://
*'''Mail & News''': the hyperlink opens an email message that is pre-addressed to a particular recipient
*'''Document''': the hyperlink points to another document or to another place in the current document
*'''New document''': the hyperlink creates a new document

[[Image:HyperlinkDialog.png|thumb|none|500px|Figure 2. Hyperlink dialog showing details for Internet links.]]

The top right part of the dialog changes according to the choice made for the hyperlink category in the left panel. A full description of all the choices and their interactions is beyond the scope of this chapter. Here is a summary of the most common choices.

For an'' Internet'' hyperlink, choose the type of hyperlink (Web, FTP, or Telnet), and enter the required web address (URL).

For a'' Mail and News'' hyperlink, specify whether it is a mail or news link, the receiver’s address, and for email, also the subject.

For a'' Document'' hyperlink, specify the document path (the '''Open File''' button opens a file browser) or leave this blank if you want to link to a target in the same document. Optionally specify the target in the document (for example a specific slide). Click on the '''Target in Document''' icon to open the Navigator where you can select the target; or if you know the name of the target, you can type it into the box.

For a ''New Document'' hyperlink, specify whether to edit the newly created document immediately ('''Edit now''') or just create it ('''Edit later'''), enter the file name, and select the type of document to create (text, spreadsheet, and so on). Click the '''Select Path''' button to open a file browser and choose where to store the file.

The'' Further settings'' section in the bottom right part of the dialog is common to all the hyperlink categories, although some choices are more relevant to some types of links.
*Set the value of '''Frame''' to determine how the hyperlink will open. This applies to documents that open in a Web browser.
*'''Form''' specifies if the link is to be presented as text or as a button. Figure 3 shows a link formatted as a button. A hyperlink button is a type of form control. See Chapter 15 of the '''Writer Guide''' for more information.

Text specifies the text that will be visible to the user. If you do not enter anything here, OOo uses the full URL or path as the link text. Note that if the link is relative and you move the file, this text will not change, though the target will.
Name is applicable to HTML documents. It specifies text that will be added as a NAME attribute in the HTML code behind the hyperlink.
Events button : click this button to open the Assign Macro dialog and choose a macro to run when the link is clicked. See Chapter 13 (Getting Started with Macros) for more information.
Editing hyperlinks
To edit an existing link, click anywhere in the link text and then click the Hyperlink icon on the Standard toolbar or choose Edit > Hyperlink from the menu bar. The Hyperlink dialog opens. Make your changes and click Apply. If you need to edit several hyperlinks, you can leave the Hyperlink dialog open until you have edited all of them. Be sure to click Apply after each one. When you are finished, click Close.
The standard (default) behavior for activating hyperlinks within OOo is to use Ctrl+click. This behavior can be changed in Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > Security > Options, by deselecting the option Ctrl-click required to follow hyperlinks. If clicking in your links activates them, check that page to see if the option has been deselected.

[[Image:HyperlinkDialog.png|thumb|none|500px|Figure 2. Hyperlink dialog showing details for Internet links.]]

On the left hand side, select one of the four types of hyperlinks:

* '''Internet''': a web address, normally starting with http://
* '''Mail & News''': for example an email address.
* '''Document''': the hyperlink points to another document or to another place in the presentation.
* '''New document''': the hyperlink creates a new document.

The top right part of the dialog changes according to the choice made for the hyperlink type. A full description of all the choices, and their interactions, is beyond the scope of this chapter. Here is a summary of the most common choices used in presentations.

For an ''Internet'' type hyperlink, choose the type of hyperlink (choose between Web, FTP or Telnet), and enter the required web address (URL).

For a ''Mail and News'' type hyperlink, specify whether it is a mail or news link, the receiver address and for email, also the subject.

For a ''Document'' type hyperlink, specify the document path (the '''Open File''' button opens a file browser); leave this blank if you want to link to a target in the same presentation. Optionally specify the target in the document (for example a specific slide). Click on the '''Target''' icon to open the Navigator where you can select the target, or if you know the name of the target, you can type it into the box.

For a ''New Document'' type hyperlink, specify whether to edit the newly created document immediately or just create it ('''Edit later''') and the type of document to create (text, spreadsheet, etc.). For a presentation, '''Edit now''' is the more likely choice. The '''Select path''' button opens a directory picker.

The ''Further settings'' section in the bottom right part of the dialog is common to all the hyperlink types, although some choices are more relevant to some types of links.

* Set the value of '''Frame''' to determine how the hyperlink will open. This applies to documents that open in a Web browser.
* '''Form''' specifies if the link is to be presented as text or as a button.
* '''Text''' specifies the text that will be visible to the user.
* '''Name''' is applicable to HTML documents. It specifies text that will be added as a <tt>NAME</tt> attribute in the HTML code behind the hyperlink.
* '''Event''' button: this button will be activated to allow OOo to react to events for which the user has written some code (macro). This function is not covered in this book.

{{Documentation/HelpNeeded|All pages of this chapter need updating to match latest PDF}}
This is Chapter '''12''' of '''Getting Started with OpenOffice.org 3.x''', produced by the [http://oooauthors.org/ OOoAuthors group]. A PDF of this chapter is available from [[Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Chapters | this wiki page]]. The PDFs are up to date for the second edition of the book, but not all of the wiki pages for this chapter have been updated yet.

= Introduction =
This chapter describes how to do the following in Writer, Calc, Draw and Impress:
*Create hyperlinks within a document and to other documents such as web pages, PDFs, and other files.
*Save documents as web pages (HTML documents).
When creating a document that you plan to deliver as a web page, you need to consider the following:
*In an HTML document, hyperlinks are active (clickable) but other cross-references inserted by OOo are not active links.
*An object such as a image is saved as a separate file. However, if that object has been placed in a frame (for example, with an associated caption), it is not saved and does not appear in the HTML document; instead, the name of the frame appears.

==Relative and absolute hyperlinks==
Hyperlinks can be stored within a file as either relative or absolute.

A relative hyperlink says, ''Here is how to get there starting from where you are now'' (meaning from the folder in which your current document is saved) while an absolute hyperlink says, ''Here is how to get there no matter where you start from''.

An absolute link will stop working only if the target is moved. A relative link will stop working only if the start and target locations change relative to each other. For instance, if you have two spreadsheets in the same folder linked to each other and you move the entire folder to a new location, a relative hyperlink will not break.

To change the way that OOo stores the hyperlinks in your file, select '''Tools > Options > Load/Save > General''' and choose if you want URLs saved relatively when referencing the ''File System'', or the ''Internet'', or both.

Calc will always display an absolute hyperlink. Don’t be alarmed when it does this even when you have saved a relative hyperlink—this ''''absolute'''' target address will be updated if you move the file.
{{Documentation/Note|Make sure that the folder structure on your computer is the same as the file structure on your web server if you save your links as relative to the file system and you are going to upload pages to the Internet.}}
{{Documentation/Tip|When you rest the mouse pointer on a hyperlink, a help tip displays the absolute reference, since OOo uses absolute path names internally. The complete path and address can only be seen when you view the result of the HTML export (saving the spreadsheet as an HTML file), by loading the HTML file as Text, or by opening it with a text editor.}}
