Converting WordprocessingML into HTML (for easy viewing)

  • 아티클

Many people have asked me if there is an easy way to go from Word XML into XHTML.

I've already mentioned that we have a tool available that transforms from Word 2003 XML into HTML. You can download it here: https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=19676b18-1bcd-4852-93ba-0b5a203ea731&displaylang=en

This is actually a pretty cool tool. There are a number of ways you can extend it. By default it will add a behavior to IE so that any XML file that has the Word PI (processing instruction) will automatically have an XSLT applied that converts it into HTML that can then be rendered by the browser. It also does work to store the embedded images to a temp location so they can be referenced by the resulting HTML.

You can also write your own XSLTs and register them for the viewer to use. Then when you open a Word XML file, you will have the choice of XSLTs to apply. This is just handled with the schema library (the same way you can register XSLTs for Word to apply when it opens your XML).

Additionally, if you want to register some views for your own XML that you want applied in the browser, you can put a PI in the files that identifies it as yours and register with the tool that you want it to also render your files instead of the default XSLT that IE will apply.

There are other folks out there who are also building tools on top of Word XML. Here's a blog I was just pointed at this morning where Oleg has worked on modifying an earlier version of the XSLT that we had released: https://www.tkachenko.com/blog/archives/000195.html

If anyone else has a tool they've built on top of WordprocessingML or SpreadsheetML please send me the links. I'd love to take a look.

    Sorry for sidetracking the thread. I found this ^^^ article ^^^ linked from SlashDot. What do you think?

    No problem, although I would like to keep this thread more focused on questions around the XSLTs...

    I've actually seen a number of discussions over the past year or two around the need for formula support in OpenDocument. I've actually stayed away from commenting directly on the OpenDocument schema. I think the use of XML for a document format is great, and I don't want to take anything away from what they've done.

    I did recently start questioning the licenses a bit, but that was because I was curious to compare their license with ours. I've had some people comment on the two being nearly identical and others have said they are dramatically different; so I just wanted to take a look.

    From reading the article, it sounds like the thought was that they would standardize around the presentation aspect of the formats only. It's a bit unfortunate since the result of a formula does affect the ultimate display. In fact, formula results are often the most important part of the spreadsheet.

    Did the original StarOffice format have formulas defined in their schema? Did they decide only push some of the schema through OASIS?

    If this is an area folks are interested in, let me know. I can post some examples of Excel's schema for formulas...

    SlashDotJunkie - Same comments apply. I was able to get to the article because you had mapped the URL to your username.

    Ian - Thanks for the links! I'm going to start to pull together a collection of links. I used to have a bunch of them but can't find them now, so I have to start over. :-)

    Sadly, my developer moves are not agile enough to be timely with this post: I am still working on my utility that converts WordProcessingML into XHTML using VSTO 1.x. Please see "Dr. Peter Sefton of The University of Southern Queensland calls Brian Jones of Microsoft “Glib”" here:

    Please excuse the title of the Blog post. I have been told that, instead of humour, insult comes out...

    I would want sapre if it exists eventually and if you could supply it to me, a xslT that from WordML it translate the document in HTML

    Giuseppe, if you download this viewer http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=19676b18-1bcd-4852-93ba-0b5a203ea731&displaylang=en
    you'll see that an XSLT also comes along that goes from WordML to HTML.
