To: ITRG Research Group cc: Bryan Carpenter , Al Gilman Subject: Help in Parsing Date: Sun, 31 Dec 2000 19:33:14 -0500 From: Geoffrey Fox I think it is possible to convert PowerPoint to SVG The main difficulty in long run appears to be in meandering through CSS specifications. There may be some problems in converting VML (used by Microsoft) to SVG but simple cases look OK In short term, i want to read output files produced by Web Export of PowerPoint 2000. I give a typical example below. Is there an XML parser that will also parse HTML as files are mix of both. I think HTML is actually illegal -- at least I don't see why things like are legal. I think this should have -- inserted as in Does anybody understand this syntax ???? Next Question: I can "obviously write a Perl Program to parse this stuff but neatest would be an XML/HTML Parser which read each element in. Obvious XML editors reject HTML part and vice versa.
