Trifolia can produce an HTML package that can be viewed in any browser, or hosted on a web server to be accessible on-line. An example of a HTML implementation guide can be found here: http://lantanagroup.github.io/trifolia/Public_Testing_IG/index.html

The HTML implementation guide includes all of the same information as the MS Word format. The HTML implementation guide includes some additional features and functionality:

  • Overview information
  • Searching
  • UML relationship diagram for each template/profile
  • Complete code listing for value sets
  • Tabbed and panel views
  • Colored and formatted samples

Steps to view an HTML implementation guide

  1. Go to "Browse" > "Implementation Guides"
  2. Select "View Web" button next to the implementation guide you would like to view

Download the HTML implementation guide while viewing

  1. View the HTML implementation guide (as described in "Steps to view an HTML implementation guide").
  2. In the top-right of the screen, click the "Download" button.
  3. When prompted, download the .zip package to your computer. This zip package contains all of the files necessary to view the HTML implementation guide without a connection to the internet.

Export the HTML implementation guide

  1. Click "Export" from the top navigation menu
  2. Select the implementation guide to export
  3. Select "HTML" as the export format in the drop-down menu
  4. Click the "Export" button after the implementation guide has finished validating and loading
  5. You will be prompted to download the .zip package produced

Implementation guide snapshots

With the XML/JSON export, you can download a JSON snapshot of all data needed for the HTML implementation guide. Trifolia allows you to upload that snapshot to the implementation guide so that you can view that point-in-time representation of the HTML implementation guide in the future. After uploading the exported snapshot back to Trifolia as a "Data Snapshot", the "View Implementation Guide" screen shows a new tab called "Web Publications". Each snapshot uploaded represents a separate "Web Publication". Clicking one of the web publication links will open the HTML implementation guide representing that snapshot in a separate browser window/tab.

Steps to create a web publication from a snapshot

  1. Using the "Export" > "XML/JSON" screen, export the implementation guide in the "Data Snapshot (JSON)" format
  2. Using the Browse > "Implementation Guides" screen, view the implementation guide
  3. Click the "Edit" drop-down, and select "Files"
  4. Click "Add file" to upload the snapshot previously exported
  5. For "File", select the snapshot downloaded previously
  6. For "Type", select "Data Snapshot (JSON)"
  7. Provide a description
  8. Click the "OK" button
  9. Click the "Save" button
  10. Return to the "View" implementation guide screen, and you will see a new "Web Publications" tab that provides a link to view the HTML implementation guide representing the point in time which the snapshot was exported
