Manage HTML previews
Rigi is designed to capture HTML previews of a live software application. An HTML preview is basically a template with the following characteristics:
Responsivity. The size of elements on the preview will adapt to the length of the individual texts used in those elements.
User interface text indexing. All texts that are shown in an HTML preview are indexed. This means that Rigi recognizes all strings by their unique string ID. Rigi can replace the texts in an HTML preview with translations.
HTML previews are used in various scenarios, including:
translation in context (see the Translate in context guide).
language testing (see the Language acceptance test (LAT) stage section).
making screenshots for documentation.
Rigi can capture previews for various applications, such as:
web-based applications. For details, see the Capture HTML previews for web applications guide.
WPF applications. For details, see the Capture HTML previews for WPF applications guide.
Silverlight.
embedded software.
mobile apps.
The captured HTML previews for a project and the number of UI strings in each preview are listed in the project's Previews screen (Content > Previews).
To capture HTML previews, use the Capture previews button.
