Notes
The document is output as a file written in HyperText Mark-up Language, suitable for display by a web browser. There is an option to output the document as XHTML i.e. the HTML is written using XML, so all elements start and end in a standardized way.
Documents typically require other resources e.g. images; these must be stored in separate files, potentially in a different folder. See also HTML MIME encoded file export
To print HTML documents created by EscapeE and containing vertical lines, ensure that "Print background colors and images" from the "Printing" section of the IE "Tools|Internet options...|Advanced" dialog is selected.
