Export to Html5

Does anyone have suggestions on how to export a Storyline file to HTML5? A client is using a storage system that only supports HTML5.

TIA!

  • The output is HTML, HTML5 is just the latest version of HTML which Storyline supports

  • HTML5 is nothing more then some extra additions to HTML. If elements like Canvas, GeoLocation are possible its HTML5. Most modern HTML is HTML5.

    If you open the file in a texteditor HTML5 websites will not have a reference to the DTD in the doctype. Thus, the doctype tag at the top of the file will look like this:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    

    Instead of one of these:

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> 
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/html4
  • I see what you're saying. Can I just double check -  is the extension .html5 ever used, and should it be? It seems like this client's system won't accept the story.html file, but in the past they have received .html5 files for e-learning packages, and those work fine.

      Compare a story.html and one of the files working. When you figured out the difference(s), add them one by one to the story.html and check if they work.

  • the old name was "story_html5.html" (2019 ??)

    so duplicate "story.html" and rename it to "story_html5.html"
