Is there a way to prepare php/html files for use on a server?
At the moment i have a leo workbook containing php, javascript and html files and nodes.
Is there a way to export files and strip leo comments/node information so that I can put these files onto a web server? Or is there another way to accomplish this that I am missing?
This should be a non-issue, Leo is supposed to insert it's sentinels
(the name for Leo's metadata inserts and comments stored in @file
contents on disk) in the language's native comment delimiters so the
interpreter ignores them. This works for the languages I use, python
and dos batch files, but maybe the php/js ones leak a little.(?)
One method to save files without sentinels:
1. change the @file headline to @no-sent, save,
2. copy the output files somewhere else, then
3. change the headline back to @file (and save).

I thought there was a FAQ for this, but the closest match I found is
how to always work without sentinels[1,2], which is a different
scenario from "export this node tree without sentinels".
I found a menu item, "File >> Export >> Remove Sentinels" that works,
albeit in a strange (to me) fashion. Rather than operate on the
currently selected node it requires one to navigate to a file stored
on disk using the standard OS file chooser and then writes
"foobar.ext.txt" to the same directory.
So it's clunky, but a bit less so than the manual
@file-->@no-sent-->@file method I outlined earlier.

Glad to hear it. And thanks to Matt for his comments.
The great thing about Python (and Leo) is that you can create a Leo
script based on the remove-sentinels command that will be easier to
use than using the system's file-save dialog.
A little searching (I never remember these kinds of details) leads to
the following node in leoPy.leo:
Code-->Core classes-->@file leoImport.py--><< class leoImportCommands
>>-->Export-->ic.removeSentinelsCommand--><< Write s into newFileName
You can use this as the nucleus of (say) an @button script that will
automatically convert an @file tree to a corresponding file without
sentinels.
If you decide to do this, please feel free to ask whatever questions
you might have. I'm always happy to help script writers, and it's a
lot easier for me because I know what kind of searches will yield the
info I want.
