Symbols are designed to be used by a chain
of different tools, the Symbol Editor, the Dashboard Editor, the
Designer and a variety of custom applications. The Symbol Editor
reporting feature allows you to generate documentation from the
palettes currently open in the Symbol Editor. The symbol report is
generated in HTML format; it can be viewed either in the
Symbol Editor, or, when a report is exported, in a standard Web
browser.
The symbol report is based on the
descriptions you wrote about the symbols and their parameters when
they were created.
