tidy ms word output as pure xhtml without css style and font styles

[Martin Bretschneider]

Hi,

ms word should output xhtml without any css style. Tidy
(http://tidy.sourceforge.net/) helps quite a lot but leaves the css
styles like the following:

<p class="P11 c2">foo</p>
<ul class="c4">
<li class="P11 c3">
<p class="P11 c2">bar</p>
</li>
</ul>

And I do want to have:

<p>foo</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>bar</p>
</li>
</ul>

In other word: I want all the attributes to be deleted.

Is there an option for tidy to achive this or another small app?
TIA Martin

ps.: I could do this with xslt but the input must be xml and I have not
used xslt for some years...

Have a look at Mihai Sucan's ReTidy:

chance to test it myself, but I expect it can do what you want:

Say Word does something like:
<p style="font-weight:bold">Bo ld</p>
<p style="font-style:italic">I talic</p>

HTML-Tidy will do:

<p class="c1">Bold </p>
<p class="c2">Ital ic</p>

So is that a problem? If you wish to preserve the formatting, you use the
style sheet generated (as such or as modified). If you don't, you drop the
style sheet. I don't see why the class attributes would be a problem. On the
contrary, they might turn up to be part of a solution, if you later decide
that preserving some of the formatting is a good idea, after all - then you
just write some nice style sheet using the "handles" (class attributes) that
you already have in the markup.

It's a problem if you want no style attributes at all. So you can leave
the style out, and then it's a empty class. Okay. It's still there, and
it just doesn't sit well with me. That's just me.
