My only real knock on XStandard is it tends to really lose formatting from Word docs--especially when tables are used. At least that's been my experiencing testing the demo. The code it produces is extremely clean. It looks to be a great product for CMS-based products where you really want to control the look of the document to fit within pre-defined CSS style sheets. In the project I'm working on though, we need to reproduce the look of the Word document as closely as possible (with it still producing XHTML compliant code.) This really is the only knock I have w/XStandard. However, XStandard was exactly what I was looking for when I was writing a CMS product at my last job. -Dan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:244272 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
