Have any of you thought of using abiword. Abiword creates native xml
and exports to html.
The html looks like:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd";>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>
Abiword HTML Document
</title>
<meta name="author" content="leroy">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="Original-R-Post.html_files/style.css">
</head>
<body> <div>
<p class="plain_text" style="text-align:center">
<span style="font-size:24pt">The Original R Post</span>
</p>
<p class="plain_text" style="text-align:left">
</p>
<p class="" style="text-align:left">
<span>In 1909, we lost everything.</span>
The css file looks like:
#toc,
.toc,
.mw-warning {
border: 1px solid #aaa;
background-color: #f9f9f9;
padding: 5px;
font-size: 95%;
}
#toc h2,
.toc h2 {
display: inline;
border: none;
padding: 0;
font-size: 100%;
font-weight: bold;
}
#toc #toctitle,
Also the xml is nicely indented and easy to read.
What do you think?
