Common galley types are: - PDF - HTML - XML For HTML and XML galleys Janeway has a preview button that will render the galley into a viewable block so you don't need to understand the underlying markup to proof them. Each of the Galleys has an accordian-type drop down so if you click on its name you will see a new section appear with more information. .. figure:: ../nstatic/proofing_galleys.png An XML galley expanded You now have the option to Download or View the galley, this will open in a new tab in your browser.
