Andrea,
Have a look at XDK
http://www.vmtech.com
It also creates something that is based on Microsoft Word
XML
Here is the top of one of the documents:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";
>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en"
lang="en">
Because XDK grew out of HDK it can handle all the online
help, etc..
I think you can get more control if you want using Word
character styles, etc.
Have a look at the source for this page for a better idea
http://users.bigpond.com/SocEdNSW/esd/plain/WinHelpI.htm
It is my entry in the Society of Editors NSW Editorial
Services Directory.
Chances are that if you don't hurry up it will get
easier..

} Subject: [austechwriter] XML - bringing it together
}
}
} Hi there,
}
} Couple of weeks ago, I was told that QSR is
} moving to XML and could I =
} produce XML documents from now on? I'm
} starting to think that the answer =
} may be no. I've done an introductory course
} (Melb CAE) and ploughed =
} through a stack of reading, so I have a fair
} grasp on how to apply and =
} create XML tags, how to link an XML doc to a
} spreadsheet etc.
}
} Problem is, I just don't know how to go about
} bringing the whole deal =
} together to create online help, paper docco
} (manuals and marketing) and =
} web content, all of which will need to be
} translated into at least one =
} foreign language in the near future. Trying to
} pre-empt the most obvious =
} questions:
}
} * I've searched the Austechwriter archives and
} checked out all the =
} relevant links.
} * We are using Microsoft Word - apparently the
} version in Office 2003 is =
} an XML editor. The beta version is an XML
} editor which doesn't appear to =
} accept W3C compliant schemas, and it doesn't
} ship with any schemas, =
} stylesheets etc of its own. Use of Word is not
} negotiable (I've tried! I =
} want XMLSpy!).
}
} Already been through:
}
} * www.w3.org
} * Microsoft's XML articles on their website
} (not MSDN) - I was hoping to =
} find something which would tell me whether or
} not they are W3C compliant =
} or not.=20
} * www.thescarms.com had some handy tutorials, as did
} * http://www.w3schools.com/xml/default.asp
}
} Anyone who has any hints, tips or suggestions
} - let me know! I'm even =
} prepared to consider approaching the boss to
} hire someone as a =
} consultant to help me get started.
}
} Thanks and regards
