ODS output format with HTMLVAR

RandoDando — Thu, 23 Sep 2021 17:38:28 GMT

I have a GMAP output file which uses the HTML= option for a mouse-over display on sections of the map. I can get this to work when I output to HTML or HTML5 but emailing those formats is problematic. The other ODS types I've tried (RTF, PDF) with the PNG device, do not include the mouseover feature. Is there either a simple way of sharing the HTML file which other users can see, or another portable format which retains the mouseover feature for others to see?

What's the issue with emailing an HTML5 doc?
That would have been my suggested solution as it embeds the graphics so nothing extra to send compared to an HTML file.

I tested with another user using the HTML5 option, once with both the path=
and File= options and once with the file= only. The former still produces
a separate image file, so I was afraid emailing the html file alone
wouldn't work...but it did. The latter option produced a html file with no
image.

The first user was on a mobile phone, so that may have been the problem
initially.
