Attribute

Attribute Description
AcceptHeader
Optional Text. Specifies the application to use to open a file in a document library.

If HTML viewing is enabled, Microsoft SharePoint Foundation compares the value of this attribute with the Accept-Header HTTP header of the request, and either opens the document in its native format through the specified application, or offers to convert the document to HTML.

For more information, see Programming with the Microsoft.HtmlTrans Namespace.
Extension
Optional Text. Specifies the file name extension for the document type.
HandlerUrl
Optional Text. Specifies the URL of a converter program used by the server to handle a request when the client computer does not have Microsoft Office system installed.
