About publishing
CloudDrafts lets you publish directly through the interface using WebWorks ePublisher stationery.
Requirements
To use the publishing functionality:
You must have a working ePublisher Stationery (created using ePublisher Designer).
You must be a project administrator or publisher.
However, any project member can view the published output.
How publishing works
WebWorks ePublisher stationery integrates right inside CloudDrafts. ePublisher is an established tool that produces HTML, PDF, Reverb Help (HTML5), Java Help, online help (and many others) output from documentation source files including Markdown, Word, FrameMaker, and DITA.
Stationery specifies the settings ePublisher uses to generate output with the look, feel, and functionality that you need. ePublisher Designer lets you create and manage stationery using a Stationery design project.
A Stationery file has a .wxspfile extension that contains formatting, project settings, project overrides, and style information. Writers use the Stationery provided by the Stationery designer when they generate output from CloudDrafts.
If you already use ePublisher to publish, then you already have stationery available.
What if I don't have stationery or want to publish another way?
You have many options:
Publish directly from your Drafts repository using your desired tool
Download files from the Project Files repository and publish outside of CloudDrafts
