How do I Specify Which Template Is Used When Exporting To Clipboard?

When exporting a lesson to the clipboard as HTML or PDF you can specify a template that will be used to output the lesson. This lesson explains how.

Open Preferences

Media_1289936874114

Select Template From General Tab

Media_1289936930465

On the General tab you can select the template you would like to use when copying a lesson to the clipboard as PDF (2) or HTML (3).

The list of PDF templates (2) is taken from the PDF templates available in the PDF Templates tab.

The list of HTML templates (3) is taken from the the Clipboard folder in the HTML templates folder. For more information on the templates folder please see our manual on Customizing HTML Templates.

It would be helpful if you had examples of all the templates.
