Export HTML

Block Group:	Browser API
Icon:

Converts the current component or .dg5 file to HTML, PDF, PNG, or JPG, and either causes the converted file to be downloaded or outputs it as an HTML string or a binary object. If the parent of this dataflow block is the Stage, then the entire page is exported. In an exported HTML file, assets such as images that are stored in the Solution Builder project can only be displayed if the user can view the project.
