There are two attributes that control HTML export—$HTMLDontExport and $HTMLExportChildren:

• $HTMLDontExport—If this is true, then the note will not export as a file. However, it will still export as a folder if it has children that are exported as files.
• $HTMLExportChildren—If this is false, then none the note’s descendants will be exported (as a file, inside an isomorphic directory structure). If this is true, then the children may or may not export, depending on the value of their $HTMLDontExport attribute.

There are four possible export permutations here:

• Note and children
• Note and no children
• No note but children
• No note and no children

To indicate which of these holds, BoxPress has an agent that change the appearance of notes where knowing which is these four holds of a note is useful—inside BlogTopNote and inside CSS:

The meanings of the badges is shown in the following legend:

(By the way—none of the notes you see here will ever be touched. They are the framework of your website. Your content notes are written inside the two content containers, Blog PAGES and Blog POSTS. Or you can use the sandbox container, called ALL_NOTES.)
