converting word to xml

[prabha]

Hello Everybody,
I have to conert the word doc to multiple html files,according to the templates in the word doc.

I had converted the word to xml.Also through Exsl ,had finished the multiple output html files.

The problem is while reading through the worddoc paragraph,the special characters are not identified.

So in the xml file,it's just storing that as "?".So I couldn't able to retrive the characters in my ouput html files.

using cdata, XML is identifying the special chars.but while parsing through xsl it's not identifying.

I am reading from the word doc tables,which includes special chars and html tags.when i convert the word doc to a structured xml it was converting that < to &lt; and special characters like "¢" to &cen;.When i pass the xml element text,i used CDATA.CDATA will be storing the same value within that.
In the XSL ,i had used EXSL for converting the xml to multiple html files.
the xsl parser is parsing the < to &lt; .I had tried the disable-output-escaping and the xsl:copy-of.But i couldn't able to convert with that.Then i used HTTPUTILITY's HTMLDECODE method to convert the "&lt;" to "<".
Now my problem is solved.Also For indenting the HTML files i used TIDY Component.

That's known limitation of EXSLT.NET implementation of exsl:document
extension element. disable-output-escaping is ignored as always when you
transforming to XmlWriter.

The best way would be to avoid escaped HTML markup (make it XHTML for
instance). As you see now escaped markup is almost always a trouble.

If your customer can save Word documents as XML, then this "something"
is XML parser.
