Word to webpage

Just pasted some C in Open Orifice, plonked a jpg in the middle from a different directory, saved as html

It worked, all the line indents had gone though.

"HTML Tidy"

Can't be worse than Microsoft Frontpage.

Dear God, I can't imagine how many times I've gone to websites, and every so often I find one that downloads slowly (like, a couple of seconds). It's not the connection speed, oh no, I get properties on this small (a few pages long) HTML and it's 100kB! Guess what the source says? Frontpage. Guess why it's so bulky? STYLE="blah; blah; blah" inside *each* and *every* element. Table elements. Paragraphs. Divs. Individual lines. Everything, everywhere.

Blech.

Now you know why I use Notepad!

No, "word" exports something that Microsoft claims is HTML. It isn't really HTML but the Internet Exploder will open it and display it so meany people think it really is HTML.

Actually, that doesn't really work either. It's a mess.

However, if you have to, "tidy" has an option that will turn such "HTML" into a passable representation. .

Have you tried....

No I haven't and it is fairly unlikely I ever will. I avoid the problem completely by never useing MS word.

Since it is from Microsoft, I wouldn't trust it in a billion years. They are the ones that made Word claim to output HTML when in fact it doesn't.

If MS wanted to put some extra information in the HTML, they could have put it in, in several ways that would still make the result be valid HTML. The most obvious is to insert comments. You can also put in styles for classes that are never used and names for things that carry information.

M$ products produces the worst HTML. The HTML converter in Word produces illegal HTML. Perhaps they have cleaned up the illegal syntax by now. M$ loves to ignore standards.

They do it so the "HTML" can be converted back to 'Wprd"

Use vi.
