Exporting Chapters

If the documentation should be available outside DEFT, you must export it. Exported documentation is stable because its generated content is not updated anymore.

Exporting OpenDocument Chapters

Chapters can be exported as PDF and ODT. Right click on a chapter and select Export→PDF or Export→ODF Text. Alternatively, if the chapter is opened, you can use the save mechanisms from within OpenOffice/LibreOffice to export the chapter.

Exporting LaTeX Chapters

Right click on the main chapter and select Export. A dialog opens which lets you specify a number of options.

• Choose destination: the target directory where the LaTeX files are saved
  
  
• Select directory with additional files: a directory with files which are necessary for compilation, but which are not managed by DEFT. Examples are styles or images.
  
  
• Compile to PDF: if checked, pdflatex and bibtex are run to produce a PDF output from the LaTeX files
  
  
• pdflatex, bibtex: full path to the pdflatex and bibtex executables
  
  

Clicking Finish starts the export.
