Docs to XML conversion & read the XML files

I am creating an application which need to convert document files into
XML. Then read the xml files for specific words in specific format. I
am using Microsoft.Offic e.Interop for converting the document files to
xml .The files are getting generated but with lots of formating
information which leads to heavy file.

I need an help to write a code which can reduce the xml files by
removing the unwanted document formating. Or can be preserved if
required.
Thanks in advance.

That sounds like a straight programming problem. First, you need to
analyse the files to create rules for recognizing the "unwanted" markup.
Then you need to write code that either filters that markup out during
the conversion process, or postprocesses the XML file by reading it in,
applying those rules to alter it, and writing it back out.

Pick your programming language and have fun. If you take the
postprocessing approach, you could probably do this in XSLT... but
whether that's the best approach depends in part on the nature of the
rules you're trying to apply.

Hi, My first post here. I've found some serious accessibility flaws in the Python 2.4 docs and wish they could be rectified over time.

MS VS 7.0 happily resolves by SmartPointer and Inheritance, but I got to use another target compiler and it does not accept user conversion for templates. Can I forced a recast somehow? I have judiciously checked almost all constructs with both compiler before coding, but during a heavy session, I forgot to check the user conversion part, and now, I am stuck big time :( So here is my user conversion for a smart pointer class (direct...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
