+ name="export"
+ ></a></strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The alignment view can be printed using <strong>File→Print</strong>,
+ or exported in a number of ways via the <strong>File→Export</strong>
+ menu:
+ <ul>
+ <li>HTML<br> <em>for viewing in a web browser</em>
+ </li>
+ <li>PNG - a Portable Networks Graphics image<br> <em>For
+ low quality diagrams and powerpoint presentations</em>
+ </li>
+ <li>EPS - an Encapsulated Postscript Document<br> <em>For
+ high quality diagrams and publications.</em>
+ <li>SVG - a Scalable Vector Graphics document<br> <em>For
+ high quality diagrams in publications and on the web.</em>
+ </li>
+ <li>BioJS MSA - A JavaScript based multiple sequence alignment
+ viewer. <br> <em>For interactive alignment data
+ visualisation in a web browser.<br />Get more info about the
+ BioJS MSA viewer at <a href="http://msa.biojs.net/">http://msa.biojs.net/</a>
+ </em>
+ </li>
+
+ </ul>

+ <p>
+ <strong>Exporting alignments as Web Pages</strong>
+ <p>
+ In Jalview 2.9, new HTML exporting options were introduced. The
+ standard HTML export option displays alignments as SVG documents
+ embedded as scrollable panes. Exported pages can optionally also
+ include <a href="../features/bioJsonFormat.html">BioJSON</a> data,
+ which allows Jalview to extract the original data used to create the
+ page. Jalview can also generate HTML pages which embed BioJSON data
+ and the BioJS MSA viewer, a pure javascript alignment viewer that
+ provides a range of interactive analysis capabilities.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <p>
+ <strong>Tips for working with EPS Files</strong>
+ </p>
+ <li>The EPS file generated by Jalview contains vector graphics
+ which are directly editable in graphics applications such as Adobe
+ Illustrator.</li>
+ <li>EPS files can be produced as "Text" or
+ "Lineart". Use "Text" if you want the final
+ document to be MUCH smaller in diskspace and be able to search, edit
+ and select text. Use "Lineart" if you want an exact image
+ of the alignment as displayed in Jalview. This is useful if a 3rd
+ Party EPS viewer does not have the same Font which the EPS file was
+ created with.</li>
+ <li>When importing an EPS file into a Microsoft office document,
+ a snapshot image of the file will be displayed which often looks
+ blurred. Right-click the image and choose "Edit image." to
+ convert it to word drawing objects which give a truer WYSIWIG
+ representation.</li>
+ <li>Mac OSX users will find that eps files are automatically
+ converted into PDF files.</li>
