Re: Savings as XML document to be used on a website_office2008.

Hi Phillip:

There's no such thing as "True" XML.

There IS "Well-formed" XML, and "Compliant" XML.

Well-Formed XML means that the XML in the file follows the XML Language
specifications (e.g. No missing closing tags). All of Microsoft Word's
various flavours of XML are Well Formed.

"Compliant" XML means that the use of tags in the XML file complies with the
nominated Document Type Definition. Microsoft Open Office XML complies with
the Microsoft Open Office XML DTD published in the STYLE tag.

Whether DreamWeaver likes it or not will depend on whether DreamWeaver has a
matching Document Type Definition and Formatting Output Specification
Instance available to it.

To use OOXML successfully on the web, you need to create and provide a
cut-down XSLT that "Transforms" the content of the XML file by ignoring the
things contained in the file that browsers cannot display, or wish to
display differently.

If you do that, then Word's code is fine: you simply open the .docx package
and publish the XML file to the web. I suspect the latest versions of
DreamWeaver do know how to do that.

So I think the answer to your question is "Yes".

Cheers

This question is brought up, by another question someone else asked on a
slightly different subject.

With Office 2008 can you save as an XML format that can be used directly
in a DreamWeaver created web page. In other words can you save as True
XML (or HTML) that can be opened in DreamWeaver and uploaded to a website?

This would be great to be able to post word document to a website and be
able to have them viewed directly in website.
