### Exporting
chapters or pages in the following formats:
- Contained Web File
- - A ".html" file with images embedded where possible, which can be opened in a browser.
+ - A ".html" file, with images embedded where possible, which can be opened in a web browser.
- This usually provides the best representation of your BookStack content.
- PDF File
- A ".pdf" document file representation of your content.
- If the page was written using the Markdown editor, then that original content will be provided otherwise this export will attempt a conversion to Markdown.
- The resulting markdown may still use HTML for some content types.
- Portable ZIP
- - A ".zip" containing data, attachment and image files.
+ - A compressed ".zip" file containing data, attachment and image files.
- This can be re-imported to BookStack instances as mentioned below.
- The exact format can be found documented [in the BookStack source here](https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/blob/development/dev/docs/portable-zip-file-format.md).
