Making XML from Word Processors

Few authors work in XML

• Give authors an HTML form and make XML behind the scenes
• Give them word-processing “templates” and make XML behind the scenes
• Translate clean word-processing styles to XML tags
  (or clean first, then transform)
• Third-party products where authors think they are in a word-processor, but behind the scenes it’s XML
• Microsoft Word 2003 and beyond
  (edit awkwardly in XML, export XML)
