Note: Fireworks uses UTF-8 encoding when exporting to XHTML. For more information about
UTF-8 encoding, see
Exporting files with UTF-8 encoding
Historically, web browsers were not able to display different character sets in a single HTML
document. For example, Chinese text and English text could not be displayed on the same page
because web browsers weren't capable of displaying different character sets in a single document.
UTF-8, which stands for Universal Character Set Transformation Format-8, is a text-encoding
method that allows web browsers to display different character sets on the same HTML page.
Fireworks allows you to export HTML with UTF-8 encoding.
Note: Fireworks can also import documents that use UTF-8 encoding. For more information, see
Fireworks Help.
To export documents with UTF-8 encoding:
Choose File > HTML Setup, choose Use UTF-8 Encoding on the Document Specific tab,
1
and click OK.

Setting HTML export options
The HTML Setup dialog box allows you to define how Fireworks exports HTML. These settings
can be document-specific or can be used as your default setting for all HTML exports. Changes
made in the Document Specific tab affect the current document only, but you can use these
settings as defaults for new documents if you click the Set Defaults button before closing the
HTML Setup dialog box. General and Table settings are global preferences and affect all
new documents.
To define how Fireworks exports HTML:
Choose File > HTML Setup or click the Options button in the Export dialog box.

Choose an HTML Style to set the style for exported HTML.
Generic HTML works in any HTML editor. However, if your document contains behaviors
or other interactive content, choose your specific editor if it appears in the list. Interactive
elements export differently from Fireworks depending on the selected HTML style.
