Using the Post to Web Feature
You can use the NRCS tool to generate a hypertext version of your iNEWS or ENPS story for
viewing on the World Wide Web. The Post to Web feature helps you to create Internet content
directly from a single script rather than requiring the production of dual content, one for
broadcast and one for the Web.
When you post a story to the Web, the resulting Web page can include the text of your iNEWS or
ENPS story, formatting provided by user-designed templates, and links to videos and images.
Processing the Script for Post to Web
Traditionally, broadcast scripts utilize uppercase letters to make them display clearly in a
prompter. Post to Web can automatically change a story’s script to lowercase letters, with the
exception of the first letter of each sentence. Additionally, Post to Web deletes text elements
designed specifically for broadcast stories, such as Presenter Instructions and Closed Caption.

Post to Web processing does not recognize proper nouns, acronyms, or terms that require special
formatting. Stories require manual editing of the text before you can use the finished file as a Web
page.
You can control how the NRCS tool converts a story for Web display by selecting options in the
NRCS Settings dialog box. For more information on processing the script, see “Configuring the
NRCS Tool” on page 1060 and “Creating a Web Page for Post to Web” on page 1087.
Creating a Web Page for Post to Web
You can convert text from your story into a Web page, or you can create a Web page without an

To create a Web page from an iNEWS or an ENPS story:
1. Load a story into the Story panel.
2. Click the Post To Web button.
The Post To Web dialog box opens with the story script displayed in the Story text box of the
Story tab.

Loaded cues are highlighted in blue within the text box. See “Using Loaded Cues (iNEWS
Only)” on page 1076.
