ProPoc HTML interface

  The following entities are exported to HTML:
  - projects
  - tasks (activities, milestones, subprojects, summary tasks)
  - resources

  Which items are actually exported depends on the screen mode
  ( detail/outline ) and active filters (show, but only).
  The sort order is the same as on screen.

  Which items are displayed in graphics depends on the settings
  for the normal graphic screen mode.

  The page names are generated by ProPoc. They consist of
  file identifier (1 letter), object type, and the internal
  object ID. The ID never changes during the lifetime of an object,
  even if the object name was changed.

  The file identifier allows to merge the pages of up to 26
  project files into one directory. ProPoc maps the file names
  to identifiers by creating empty auxiliary files *.IX? .
  For instance, "publish.IXA" maps file "publish.pjt" to identifier "A".

  ProPoc automatically generates a page CONTENT.HTM which lists
  all the HTM files in the directory.

  If a masterfile is used, the masterfile should be converted first.
  Links to the master file will the be created automatically.
  
  If the project contains subprojects, the subproject files should be
  converted to HTML as well.

  In addition, extra pages can be created with report functions such
  as resource schedule, cashflow analysis, bottleneck analysis, baseline.
  The file names for reports consist of file identifier, followed by "rpt" and
  a sequence number. You overwrite a report HTML page only by manually
  deleting the old page.

  The best way to create a project HTML documentation with additional
  reports save the project as HTML, then create additional reports.
  This will ensure that all links are created.

  ProPoc uses a standard layout for all pages. Make sure to fill
  out the Footer and Email field to insert you address.

  The file CANVAS.GIF in \APP\PROPOC\ is copied to the target
  folder and controls the background of all pages. You can
  modify this file to your requirements or remove it.

  If graphics are generated another set of GIF images is copied
  to the target folder. These are used to build up the graphics.
  You may modify the content of these elements, but leave the
  dimension unchanged. Some of these images (*) are used with different
  WIDTH specifications, so if you use patterns, they should be
  neutral to horizontal stretching.
