The HTML-kit tool is already listed on the AU group's tools page. (Except I didn't know it did XHTML now - will update...) cheers Charles McCN On Sun, 11 Jun 2000, Wendy A Chisholm wrote: There is an interesting article in the July 2000 Web Techniques magazine called, "Migrating from HTML to XML." I have not played much with the following tools yet, but they sound interesting. HTML-Kit www.chami.com/html-kit is freeware that is supposed to "help HTML authors edit, format, validate, preview, and publish documents on the Web, it has a custmoizable GUI that uses HTML Tidy to convert documents from HTML to XHTML....Another window lists any errors and offers advice and suggestions for improving the XHTML code. I've found that this tool offers a learn as you grow approach for migrating HTML to XHTML." by Peter Fischer, pg 52 Web Techniques, July 2000. published by CMP Media Inc. www.webtechniques.com (the June 2000 issue is what is currently displayed on their site) Another tools that he discusses is called XSpLit [http://www.percussion.com/Products/XSplit/xsplitover.htm], which is a tool used to, "split out the content trapped inside your existing HTML documents so that it's no longer intertwined with presentation markup. Although a human touch is sometimes necessary to sort out meaningful content from meaningless markup, there are some good tools that will make your job a lot easier....Using XSpLit, developers can easily create the XML and XSL equivalents of their existing HTML documents without investing a significant amount of up-front time learning XML." also by Peter Fischer, pg 53 Web Techniques, July 2000. published by CMP Media Inc. www.webtechniques.com XSpLit also seems to be free, but I'm not sure for how long, i.e. I'm not sure if I've downloaded the actual product or a trial version. Regardless, the algorithms they use would apply to many of the AERT techniques. tools to add to the list of existing tools? --w -- wendy a chisholm world wide web consortium web accessibility initiative madison, wi usa tel: +1 608 663 6346 /-- -- Charles McCathieNevile mailto:charles@w3.org phone: +61 (0) 409 134 136 W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI Location: I-cubed, 110 Victoria Street, Carlton VIC 3053 Postal: GPO Box 2476V, Melbourne 3001, Australia
