Confluence allows you to export a part of, or the entire contents of a space into a zipped archive of HTML files. This is useful if you want convert your space into a static web site.
To export to HTML, you will need 'Export Space' permission which is assigned by a space administrator from the Space Administration screens. See Space Permissions or contact a space administrator for more information.
To export to HTML,
-
Go to the 'Advanced' view for the page. To do this:
- Go to a page in the space, open the 'Space' menu and select 'Advanced'. The 'Advanced' view will open.
- Click on 'Export Space' in the left panel.
- Click the radio button to select HTML from the list of export options.
- Check the box 'Include Comments' if you want to include comments for the pages you are exporting.
- Select the pages you want to export by checking the boxes in the tree view of pages displayed. By default, all pages are selected. You have the option to 'Check All' or 'Clear All' pages. See screenshot.
- Click 'Export'. This will create a zipped archive of html files.
- Extract the files into a folder.
- Page attachments are placed in individual folders named using the format : 'nameofpage_attachments'.
- By default, the 'Space Details' page is exported as index.html and displays the space's details as well as a list of all available pages within it.

There was an error in the export. Please check your log files. :java.io.FileNotFoundException: E:\EXEx86\FLU\DATA\temp\export_02132008_140230\App\Oracle SQL*Plus V3.html (The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect)
Why does this not happen with xml and pdf exports. Is this a reserved symbol? if so why hasnt it been specified?
Thanks
