Templates in HTML format give you more possibilities for different layout, fonts, and images. Templates that generate output in HTML format are graphical and have the file name extension *.html.rpt.

Note:

If you add images to your HTML template, the images must be in the ..\Program Files\Tekla Structures\<version>\bin\applications\Tekla\Tools\TplEd\bitmaps folder. Images in other folders are not shown in the HTML output.
