    Captivate can output whatever you need if you are willing to write it yourself.

    The source files used for outputting HTML are in your Captivate install directory:

    Version 1: C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Captivate\Templates\Publish
    Version 2: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 2\Templates\Publish

    As always, be sure to create backups before changing any of the default files.

    In my experience, you can modify these files to your heart's content, up to and including the built-in Javascript functions. As you don't break the code and/or change the variables that begin with an ampersand ( @ ), you should be fine.

    So, did you buy a few? LOL!

    I might have to do so, maybe for "giveaways" on the grand opening of a new web-site or something. Hmmmmm.

    You might open the Publish dialog and/or check the published files ... but to save you the trouble, a direct answer to the question is "no".

    To those who are scratching their heads reading this ... my understanding is that extensible markup (XHTML) is a written in XML language, and while it is a good cross-platform tool for NET uses, it is not specifically supported in Capivate's output options. Note the "Include HTML" option; that cannot be stretched to make it ispit out XHTML instead of HTML. The only thing they share is the last four letters of the language name.

    I stand ready to be corrected.
