[Xerte] Re: Customizing XOT Projects

Thu Nov 17 13:16:59 GMT 2011


If I publish desktop the launch .htm ends up with the actual name of the .rlo I'm publishing and that .rlo contains the IFC and entryframe components (controls).
What does the preview/publish sequence load in XOT? An .rlo or an .rlt?
I'm suspecting an rlt, like Nottingham.rlt?
