Tutorial: make a recipe cookbook web page

This is one of several user guides on specific topics. The directory for all user guides is here.

If you have a set of recipes in .bcoarecipe files, you can easily create a web page in a .html file that looks something like this:

To create this kind of page, first put the recipe files you want into a folder on your computer.

The links on the cookbook web page will show each recipe file name, with a clickable URL, so it’s a good idea to give each recipe file a meaningful name.

Recipes will be listed in alphanumeric order based on the file names, so if you want a particular order, you might need to put a leading string of digits or letters at the start of each file name, such as “001_”, “002_” and so on.

After you have your files in a folder with appropriate names, type a meaingful name into the Filename textbox of the Save Recipe File panel.

Click the “Cookbook” button in the Save Recipe File panel.

The program should present you with a folder chooser dialog. Use it to select the folder with your recipes.

The program will then create your cookbook .html page with the name you have specified.
