Referencing HTML from Site View

You can reference an entire site or section of a site from Site view. For example, you might reference an existing site you want to manage with Corel Website Creator X6 now and convert later. Or, you can reference files you prefer to maintain in their native code.

For links to work between the HTML files you reference, use relative path names in the original <A HREF> tags, keep all HTML files in the same directory, and publish files using the same directory structure as the original site. See Managing Referenced Assets for information.

When you reference HTML from Site view, Corel Website Creator X6 publishes the <HEAD> content from the original files, along with <HEAD> content it generates.

  1. In Site view, select the page to be the parent of the pages you reference.

  2. From the File menu, choose Reference External HTML.

The Reference External HTML dialog appears.

  1. Click Browse.

The Open dialog appears.

  1. Select the top-level HTML file you want to reference, and click Open to return to the Reference External HTML dialog.

Corel Website Creator X6 only follows <A HREF> links; it cannot follow links in JavaScript or cgi scripts.
