How were the HTML static preview pages for the Astro Utilities created?
Save As under the Mathcad File menu can save worksheets in HTML format. This save takes each region and converts it into a JPEG graphic. Worksheets saved like this look exactly like their live Mathcad counterparts but can be quite large for downloading purposes. The conversion method employed in the Astro Utilities was to use the RTF option, under Save As, to create a file. In this format all graphics and equations are saved as graphics and text stayed text. This file was imported into an HTML editor for formatting and saving. Though there was a big savings in file size, as compared to the HTML save, the RTF conversion required much manual labor to duplicate the look of the original Mathcad files.
