Subject: WP -> HTML
Yesterday I was asked what I use to convert wordprocessed files into HTML;
my answer was that I don't, because I don't have to handle volumes of
material and so find it as convenient to html-ize by hand. I've looked at
the output of some WP-to-HTML converters but not been encouraged by the
quality of code that I have seen. I like to produce as readable code as I
can, e.g. by using indenting to denote the levels of nested lists; I haven't
seen any converter that would do that.
What is the current state of this art for both Mac OS and Windows? Are there
any truly WYSIWYG wordprocessors that can produce good HTML?
Thanks.
Yours,
WM

>"History Matters: The U.S. Survey Course on the Web" is renewing its
>call for U.S. Survey syllabi to publish on our Web site. We are
>particularly interested in finding instructors who are willing to write
>annotations to their syllabi that explain why they have structured
>their course in particular ways and why they make particular
>assignments. We think that this is a very valuable service to other
>teachers, especially new instructors who are trying to figure out how
>to teach the survey course. You can see some examples of annotated
>syllabi at http://historymatters.gmu.edu/syllabus.html

>History Matters (http://historymatters.gmu.edu) serves as a gateway to
>the Web for teachers of the U.S. History Survey course. It provides
>high school and college teachers (and their students) a starting point
>for exploring American history on the Web, a large number of
>first-person historical documents for use in the classroom, and a range
>of teaching resources (teaching assignments, an annotated guide to
>hundreds of U.S. History Web sites, and forums on teaching, for
>example). A project of the American Social History Project/Center for
>Media and Learning of the City University of New York and the Center
>for History and New Media at George Mason University with support from
>the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, the site is an in-progress prototype that
>will grow as our resources permit.
