The logical design of a document (content) should be separate from its visual design (presentation)
|
Separation of logical and visual design
-
promotes sound typography
-
encourages better writing and is more flexible
|
HTML mixes the logical with the visual
|
Internal Representation of Microsoft Word/PowerPoint will/should be XML while "Save As HTML" should gives its visual rendering in HTML
-
XML structure of Word/PowerPoint can immediately be stored in a relational database
-
Dynamic HTML allows rendering of all features of these products whereas current export of Office products uses static images which are both unnecessarily large and incomplete representation
