To test a template first, select Context > Preflight. Preflights executes the template without
actually producing output and it displays any issues once it's done (see also: "Testing scripts"
on page268).
Package files
The Package file dialog saves templates and print presets as a package file. Print presets
make it possible to do such things as filtering and sorting records, grouping documents and
splitting the print jobs into smaller print jobs, as well as the more standard selection of printing
options, such as binding, OMR markings and the like. See "Job Creation Presets" on page471
and "Output Creation Settings" on page482 for more details.
To save a template to a package file:
1.
Select File > Package files.
2. Select the template to send. By default the currently active template is listed. Click
Browse to select another template. You may select more than one template in the
Browse dialog, and each of them is added to a package file. A template file has the

Resources
This page clarifies the difference between Internal, External and Web resources that may be
used in a template, and explains how to refer to them in HTML and in scripts.
Internal resources
Internal resources are files that are added to and saved with the template. To add images, fonts,
style sheets, and snippets to your template, you can drag or copy/paste them into the
Resources Pane. See also: "Images" on page185, "Snippets" on page196, "Styling templates
with CSS files" on page200 and "Fonts" on page232.
