Convert a Master Page to HTML
Posted on 2016-10-04
Usually folks want to take an HTML file and convert it to a Master Page file. However, I have a master page that I want to work in with Design Manager. To do so, I need to upload an "HTML" file and modify it with the Design Manager Editor.
I haven't found how to convert from a Master Page to an HTML file to allow me to use the Design Manager Editor.

The reason is that there is a tool in SharePoint 2013 called the Design Manager. It allows you to noodle around with among other page types, master pages. However, it only edits the HTML file and upon saving and uploading that HTML file, SharePoint checks and if the page is valid, creates the associated .master file.
I didn't start with an HTML file, so to use the Design Manager, I have to convert the .master page somehow to HTML.

I have to convert the .master page somehow to HTML.... which is what the browser does. If you view the page with your browser. Right click, select view source you will have the html.

It's not the same HTML that the Designer uses. If you look at a sample HTML file that has an associated .MASTERPAGE file, you will see that the rendered page and that HTML file differ greatly. SharePoint has placeholders and the like for example that would be in the HTML file and not in the rendered page.

that would be in the HTML file and not in the rendered pageMaybe we are missing each other on terminology - the rendered page is HTML.
From what I am hearing there are three possibilities
- Master page - which I imagine is using some sort of templating markup that SharePoint uses
- A file that Designer users - that looks different from a Master page but not the same as a browser rendered page
- An rendered html page in the browser.
I am trying to get a handle on what the middle one looks like.

The Design Manager allows you to edit HTML. That HTML differs from the source you view of a rendered page. So, taking that source and using it like the HTML that the Designer works with, won't produce the same results.
The designer, via a "Snippet Editor" allows you to insert SharePoint specific tags for assorted widgets which will be converted to Master Page format if the special HTML page uploads and is valid.
I will paste a sample of one of these special HTML pages here:

I will paste a sample of one of these special HTML pages here:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><!--SPG:
This HTML file has been associated with a SharePoint Master Page (.master file) carrying the same name. While the files remain associated, you will not be allowed to edit the .master file, and any rename, move, or deletion operations will be reciprocated.
To build the master page directly from this HTML file, simply edit the page as you normally would. Use the Snippet Generator at https://bashcomputing.sharepoint.com/sites/PublishingSandbox/_layouts/15/ComponentHome.aspx?Url=https%3A%2F%2Fbashcomputing%2Esharepoint%2Ecom%2Fsites%2FPublishingSandbox%2F%5Fcatalogs%2Fmasterpage%2FMyMiniMasterPage%2Emaster to create and customize useful SharePoint entities, then copy and paste them as HTML snippets into your HTML code. All updates to this file will automatically sync to the associated Master Page.

Here is a smaller fragment. This snippet will make the markup for a search button:

Ok so the HTML is decorated with html comments that are syntactically meaningful to SP.
The Master Page is a standard .Net page with .Net controls.
How are the Designer pages usually generated - I am assuming you wouldn't code them by hand?

If you want to "brand" the out of the box SharePoint Site, there are simple themes (skins) that you can apply. If you want more exotic changes like responsive, multiple columns, custom views and other changes to the layout, you probably would start with an existing master page, copy it and it's associated html file and using the Design Manager, modify the html file until you achieve the desired look and content layout.
Also, you might design custom page layouts for how widgets reside on pages (by type) or build custom delegate controls to replace or supplement the OOTB controls.

Ok but I meant the mechanics of how it is done. The Design Manager page looks like it is generated by something. You need to upload the page in a particular format that DM understands. In other circumstances how would you create a DM page.
If I look at this page I see the following
Which is telling me that the upload to DM is just plain old HTML.

With Design Manager, you can create a visual design for your website by using whatever web design tool or HTML editor you prefer, using only HTML and CSS, and then upload that design into SharePoint. Design Manager is the central hub and interface where you manage all aspects of a custom design.Specifically create a visual design for your website by using whatever web design tool or HTML editor you prefer, using only HTML and CSS

I take an HTML template which is a minimal SharePoint compliant page and edit it in Dreamweaver. At the same time I open that file in DM editor. In the DM editor is a snippet tool that allows you to select from a catalogue of snippets SharePoint compliant "widget" definitions. Once you select the piece of interest, you copy the generated HTML fragment from a textbox displayed in DM and paste it to a valid section of your Dreamweaver edit session for that HTML page.
After doing so, you upload the HTML file to its folder and SharePoint generates the associated MasterPage or you receive an error indication that you broke something and you must go back to your Dreamweaver session, review/backout/fix what you've broken.
That's pretty much the dance.

And you want this to go in reverse - from the MasterPage back to the DM generated HTML?
I think you might need to consider a manual reconstruction - I am not aware of any tools that will do this but based on what you have told me it sounds like it might be a one way function. I did do a minimalist search to see if I could find anything but as you stated in the OP lots about HTML to Master Page - not so much the other way around.
I suggest you delete this post and try again just in case there are experts who will pick it up the second time around - I doubt they will but it can't hurt. I don't think I can contribute anything more at this stage.
