How do I email a Xara presentation/website

[Chris M]

Unless I'm missing something you don't install a website you simply open the index.htm.
If it were a presentation, you would open it.
If it were a PDF, you would open it.
If it were a website, you would open it.
No installation.

There's also the presumption that the site will be viewed at the same location it was downloaded. Maybe they need a portable solution to be used in premises with no Internet connection.
Using a portable site isn't clumsy at all.

If you send the website via email it will be a zip file or a collection of file attachments that you will have to copy somewhere or leave in a downloads folder. Then you have to locate the index file and click on it.

That's my point, it's not click and go.

We can agree to disagree.


BTW has anyone actually exported a Xara website and tried to run it with the network connection disconnected?

My daughter used to submit her homework (English and Art) in exactly that manner for 4 years. One of her submissions had source links to various newspapers. The teacher contacted me and mentioned the links didn't work. She was looking at the site whilst travelling home on the train. They magically started working again when she arrived home.

That is the whole benefit of a static website with relative linking; it will run from anywhere.

It depends on what external libraries or fonts it may need to load (or not load).

We're also skipping a significant point that was mentioned early on. Riftvalley said he wanted to email to his friends and the contents were private. His intention isn't to scatter this to the general public. Having it easily available on different devices with users of varying degrees of technical know how is not the issue.

The poor guy just wanted to send an email with an attachment.

I think that is very relevant - I can see where Paul is coming from, but I don't think this a case where the info is being disseminated to the uninitiated; not to 'people in general'

Besides options are good; this is just another option
