Modify templates for Web-export or other font-export

MainType - Font Manager MainType - Support

The help manual indicates one may be able to use a different template when generating web pages of font information, but there are no instructions on how to do that. Although the standard template is very nice, there’s some information that I’d like to see in there that is currently not showing. Can someone give a quick run-through of what’s involved to edit a template for web export?

Thank you.

P.S. Or does anyone have other templates that are available for sharing?

The template files in C:\Program Files\High-Logic\MainType\template — fontitem.htf and fontpage.htf — are plain text files that can be edited in notepad. Make a copy and start experimenting. You can find the Predefined Web Export Variables on page 38 of the PDF manual.

I edited the templates for my online font catalogue, but I forgot now exactly what I changed. I may have edited the HTML files after export too with Find and Replace.
