<h3>OVERVIEW</h3>
</a>
<p>
This article describes a conversion tool which <strong>takes an HTML document as input and generates a Microsoft Word document</strong>
for printing.</p>
<p>It all started when I had to work on a new Information System with hundreds of computers. We decided to
go for a 100% Web-based application. Everything was fine until we had to print official documents from the application...</p>
<p>Although there are standardization efforts in progress (both at the W3C with <a href="#REFERENCES">XHTML-PRINT</a>
and IEEE with the <a href="#REFERENCES">Print Working Group</a>), and besides some good tools to print HTML
(<a href="#REFERENCES">HTML Print from Bersoft</a>, <a href="#REFERENCES">ScriptX from MeadCo</a>), none of these
seemed to address my needs. I wanted to <em>keep my Web-based application</em>, and <em>reuse generated HTML</em> to
feed a printer...</p>
<p>Have you tried to <strong>print HTML documents?</strong> Have you tried to <strong>format your HTML documents for printing</strong>, with specific <strong>fonts, sizes, headers, footers, and margins</strong>?</p>
<p>If you have, then you know that HTML is not appropriate for printing - but you can find other formats and use new tools to <strong>convert HTML documents into
Microsoft Word format</strong>, a format suitable for printing... And this is what this article is about.</p>

<a name="INTRODUCTION">
<h3>INTRODUCTION</h3>
</a>
<p>
The XHTML2RTF conversion tool uses XSL stylesheet to convert an XHTML document into an RTF document, suitable for
previewing and printing with Word (or <a href="#WORD_VIEWER">Word Viewer</a>).
</p>
<a name="XHTML">
<h4>XHTML = HTML + XML</h4>
</a>
<p>The Extensible HyperText Markup Language (XHTML) is a family of current and
future document types and modules that reproduce, subset, and extend HTML, <strong>reformulated in XML</strong>.
XHTML Family document types are <strong>all XML-based</strong>, and ultimately are designed
to work in conjunction with XML-based user agents. <strong>XHTML is the
successor of HTML</strong>, and a <a href="http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/#recommendations">series of specifications</a>
has been developed for XHTML.</p>
<p>
<font face="Courier New">=></font> The XHTML2RTF conversion tool reads XHTML documents as input. <br/>
As a consequence, you have to <a href="#HTML2XHTML">adapt your application</a> in order to use this tool.
</p>
<a name="XSL">
<h4>XSL</h4>
</a>
<p>XSL stands for <b>eXtensible Stylesheet Language</b>. It is a family of recommendations for defining
<strong>XML document transformation and presentation</strong>. It consists of three parts:</p>
<ol>
<li>a programming language for <strong>transforming XML documents</strong>: XSL Transformations
(<a href="#XSLT">XSLT</a>)
</li>
<li>an expression language used by XSLT to <strong>access or refer to</strong> parts of an XML document: XML Path Language (<a href="#XPATH">XPath</a>). This language provides pattern
matching (<font color="#990000"><tt>xsl:template match</tt></font>), conditional
statements (<font color="#990000"><tt>xsl:when test</tt></font>), loops (<font
color="#990000"><tt>for-each</tt></font>), etc... </li>
<li>an XML vocabulary for specifying formatting semantics: similar to W3C cascading style sheets (CSS), this vocabulary provides enhanced presentation features.</li>
</ol>
<p>For more about XSL, please refer to <a href="#REFERENCES">XSL references pages</a>.</p>
<p>
<font face="Courier New">=></font> The XHTML2RTF conversion tool uses XSL to transform XHTML documents (XML documents) into RTF documents.<br/>
This is the core of the tool - anything else is just a glue to build your application. Everything is in the XSL stylesheet.
</p>
<a name="MSXMLSDK">
<h4>Microsoft XML SDK 3.0</h4>
</a>
<p>Microsoft provides an XML SDK for processing XML and XSL documents. It's often installed with the operating system,
but you can download and install the latest SDK. See <a href="#REFERENCES">References section</a> for more on MSXML SDK.</p>
<p>
<font face="Courier New">=></font> The XHTML2RTF conversion tool uses XML SDK objects and methods to process XHTML and transform it into RTF.<br/>
XML SDK API is available to <a href="#WEB_ASP">Web application</a> as well as <a href="#BATCH_WSH">batch applications</a> and so is the XHTML2RTF conversion tool.
</p>
<a name="RTF">
<h4>Microsoft Rich Text Format (RTF)</h4>
</a>
<p>Microsoft created a exchange format for Word documents: Rich Text Format (RTF). Unlike the native Word format,
it is <a href="#REFERENCES_RTF">documented</a>; moreover, RTF has been here for some time (so you can view RTF
document with good old Word 97). There is also a free RTF viewer (<a href="#WORD_VIEWER">Word 97/2000 Viewer</a>), and
even Wordpad (installed with most Windows releases) can open, view and edit RTF documents.</p>
<a name="XHTML2RTF">
<h4>XHTML2RTF</h4>
</a>
<p>The XHTML to RTF converter consists in an XSL stylesheet for parsing XHTML tags and generating their RTF equivalents.</p>
<!-- =================================================================================================== -->

</p>
<a name="USAGE">
<h3>USAGE</h3>
</a>
<a name="HTML2XHTML"><h4>From HTML to XHTML</h4></a>
<p>You have to <i>adapt your application to generate XHTML documents</i> if you want to use the XHTML2RTF convertion tool:</p>
<ul>
<li>Include an XML declaration at the beginning of the document:<br/>
<code><b><?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?></b></code><br/>
<p/>
</li>
<li>Include XHTML namepace declaration (the default) and XHTML2RTF namespace declaration in tag <code><html></code>
<pre><b>
<html
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:xhtml2rtf="http://www.lutecia.info/download/xmlns/xhtml2rtf">
...
</html>
</b></pre>
</li>
<li>Use lower case for both tag names and attribute names<br/>
<code><b><P></P></b></code> becomes <code><b><<font color="red">p</font>></<font color="red">p</font>></b></code><br/>
<code><b><A HREF="...">...</a></b></code> becomes <code><b><<font color="red">a href</font>="...">...</<font color="red">a</font>></b></code><br/>
etc...
<p/>
</li>
<li>Add termination for all tags (XHTML is more strict than HTML):<br/>
<code><b><link rel="stylesheet" href="..."></b></code> becomes <code><b><link rel="stylesheet" href="..." <font color="red">/</font>></b></code><br/>
<code><b><hr></b></code> becomes <code><b><hr <font color="red">/</font>></b></code><br/>
<code><b><br></b></code> becomes <code><b><br <font color="red">/</font>></b></code><br/>
<p/>
</li>
<li>Quote all attribute values:<br/>
<code><b><table class=noprint></b></code> becomes <code><b><table class=<font color="red">"</font>noprint<font color="red">"</font>></b></code><br/>
<code><b><a href=mypage.asp></b></code> becomes <code><b><a href=<font color="red">"</font>mypage.asp<font color="red">"</font>></b></code><br/>
<p/>
</li>
<li>Use <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/sgml/entities.html" target="_blank">encoded characters</a> for non-ASCII and/or special characters:<br/>
<code><b>&</b></code> becomes <code><b><font color="red">&amp;</font></b></code><br/>
<code><b>�</b></code> becomes <code><b><font color="red">&#233;</font></b></code><br/>
<code><b>�</b></code> becomes <code><b><font color="red">&#232;</font></b></code><br/>
etc...
<p/>
</li>
<li>Replace HTML character entities by their code (XML knows very few
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/charset.html#h-5.3.2" target="_blank">character entity references</a> -
use character codes instead):<br/>
<code><b>&nbsp;</b></code> becomes <code><b><font color="red">&#160;</font></b></code><br/>
<code><b>&egrave;</b></code> becomes <code><b><font color="red">&#232;</font></b></code><br/>
<code><b>&eacute;</b></code> becomes <code><b><font color="red">&#233;</font></b></code><br/>
<code><b>&ecirc;</b></code> becomes <code><b><font color="red">&#234;</font></b></code><br/>
etc...
<p/>
</li>
<li>Do not use direct style for tags (use class and an external CSS stylesheet instead)<br/>
<code><b><div style='background:#c0c0c0; font-size: 125%; padding:1.0pt 10.0pt 1.0pt 10.0pt;'></b></code><br/>
becomes<br/>
<code><b><div class="mydivstyle"></b></code><br/>
Thus, you will be able to customize the RTF output for your class (it's much too hard to parse an HTML style declaration within an XSL stylesheet).
<p/>
</li>
</ul>
<a name="SPACES"><h4>Spaces in HTML and RTF</h4></a>
<p>In HTML, spaces are not significant - most browsers ignore them when they render the document. On the other hand,
Microsoft Word (and RTF) render spaces as visible characters. Be carefull when building your HTML document: do not
generate spaces or they will be shown in your Word document.</p>
<a name="HEADER_AND_FOOTER"><h4>Header and Footer in HTML and RTF</h4></a>
<p>
The default header in the RTF document contains the HTML <code><title></code>
(from the <code><head></code> section). You can change the header by setting the parameters
<code>header-font-size-default</code>, <code>header-distance-from-edge</code>, and
<code>header-indentation-left</code> (see <a href="#PARAMETERS">parameters</a> below).<br/>
You can also create your own header by using class "rtf_header" and "rtf_header_first" in your HTML document:
<ul>
<li><code>rtf_header_first</code> defines a complete HTML content for the header on first page of the document</li>
<li><code>rtf_header</code> defines a complete HTML content for the header on all other pages of the document</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>
The default footer in the RTF document contains the page number and document date (current date and time; i.e.
print date and time). You can change the footer by setting the parameters <code>footer-font-size-default</code>,
<code>footer-distance-from-edge</code> and <code>use-default-footer</code>
(see <a href="#PARAMETERS">parameters</a> below).
</p>
<a name="PAGE_BREAK"><h4>Page Break</h4></a>
<p>
To force a page break in your RTF document, you can use the CSS style "page-break-before" or "page-break-after"
with value "always":</p>
<pre>
This is on page 1
<p style="page-break-before:always"/>
This is on page 2
</pre>
<p>Note that other values for these CSS styles (left, right, auto...) are not supported (only "always" is supported).</p>
<a name="PARAMETERS"><h4>XSL Stylesheet Parameters</h4></a>
<p>The XSL stylesheet xhtml2rtf.xsl provides a set of parameters so that you can change the stylesheet default behavior:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>page-start-number</code>: Page start number (default: 1)</li>
<li><code>page-setup-paper-width</code>: Paper width in TWIPS (default: 11907 TWIPS = 21 cm, i.e. A4 format)</li>
<li><code>page-setup-paper-height</code>: Paper height in TWIPS (default: 16840 TWIPS = 29.7 cm, i.e. A4 format)</li>
<li><code>page-setup-margin-top</code>: Top margin in TWIPS (default: 1440 TWIPS = 1 inch = 2.54 cm)</li>
<li><code>page-setup-margin-bottom</code>: Bottom margin in TWIPS (default: 1440 TWIPS = 1 inch = 2.54 cm)</li>
<li><code>page-setup-margin-left</code>: Left margin in TWIPS (default: 1134 TWIPS = 2 cm)</li>
<li><code>page-setup-margin-right</code>: Right margin in TWIPS (default: 1134 TWIPS = 2 cm)</li>
<li><code>font-size-default</code>: Default font size in TWIPS (default: 20 TWIPS = 10 pt.)</li>
<li><code>font-name-default</code>: Default font name (default: 'Times New Roman')</li>
<li><code>font-name-fixed</code>: Default font name for fixed-width text, like PRE or CODE (default: 'Courier New')</li>
<li><code>font-name-barcode</code>: Barcode font name (default: '3 of 9 Barcode')</li>
<li><code>header-font-size-default</code>: Header default font size in TWIPS (default: 14 TWIPS = 7 pt.)</li>
<li><code>header-distance-from-edge</code>: Default distance between top of page and top of header, in TWIPS (default: 720 TWIPS = 1.27 cm)</li>
<li><code>header-indentation-left</code>: Header left indentation in TWIPS (default: 0)</li>
<li><code>footer-font-size-default</code>: Footer default font size in TWIPS (default: 14 TWIPS = 7 pt.)</li>
<li><code>footer-distance-from-edge</code>: Default distance between bottom of page and bottom of footer, in TWIPS (default: 720 TWIPS = 1.27 cm)</li>
<li><code>use-default-footer</code>: Boolean flag: 1 to use default footer (page number and date) or 0 no footer (default: 1)</li>
<li><code>document-protected</code>: Boolean flag: 1 protected (cannot be modified) or 0 unprotected (default: 1)</li>
<li><code>normalize-space</code>: Boolean flag: 1 spaces are normalized and trimmed, or 0 no normalization no trim (default: 0)</li>
<li><code>my-normalize-space</code>: Boolean flag: 1 spaces are normalized (NOT TRIMMED), or 0 no normalization (default: 1)</li>
</ul>
<a name="BATCH_WSH"><h4>Batch mode (WSH)</h4></a>
<p>
I wrote a BATCH program (XHTML2RTF.BAT) which relies on Windows Script Host (WSH) to call the XML DOM SDK and
transforms an HTML file into its RTF equivalent (output is done in stdout).
</p>
<p>
To use this component from batch: call program XHTML2RTF.BAT with the HTML file name as parameter. The RTF file is
generated in stdout, so you should redirect the output with the <code>></code> operator. Then you can open
the generated file with Microsoft Word (or Wordpad):
</p>
<pre>
C:\> <b>XHTML2RTF.BAT Readme.htm > Readme.rtf</b>
C:\> <b>START WINWORD Readme.rtf</b>
</pre>
<p>
To pass parameters to the XHTML2RTF program, use the -p flag followed by a parameter name and value.
</p>
<p><u>Example:</u></p>
<pre>
C:\> <b>XHTML2RTF.BAT -p page-start-number=5 -p document-protected=0 -p font-name-default='Arial' Readme.htm > Readme.rtf</b>
C:\> <b>START WINWORD Readme.rtf</b>
</pre>
<a name="WEB_ASP"><h4>Web-Based (ASP)</h4></a>
<p>I wrote a simple ASP library to call the component from an ASP page, producing RTF document from live, dynamic
content (results from a SQL database request, for example).</p>
<p>To use this component from a Web page, you have to include the XHTML2RTF.inc file in your page, and call
function <code>XHTMLString2RTF()</code>, passing the XHTML document (as a string):</p>
<pre>
<!--#include file="XHTML2RTF.inc"-->
var strXHTML = " \
<html xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\" xmlns:xhtml2rtf=\"http://www.lutecia.info/download/xmlns/xhtml2rtf\"> \
<head> \
<title>Hello, World! from string</title> \
</head> \
<body> \
<h1>Hello, World!</h1> \
</body> \
</html> \
";
XHTMLString2RTF(strXHTML);
</pre>
<p><u>Note:</u> The real production system uses SQL requests, generates XML output, transforms it into XHTML via
a first XSL stylesheet, and then transforms it into an RTF document. The example above is just that - an example
for demonstration purposes. Please do not generate HTML via strings on your production system ;-)</p>
<a name="RAW"><h4>Raw RTF output</h4></a>
<p>The XHTML2RTF conversion tool provides a direct RTF output with no rendering in XHTML. The tool processes a special
tag (<code><xhtml2rtf:raw></code>) to send RTF directly. For example, this code will send a TAB character in the RTF output:</p>
<p><code><xhtml2rtf:raw class="rtf">\tab </xhtml2rtf:raw></code></p>
<p>This code will <em>not be rendered in your Web browser</em>, since the class "rtf" is defined in the css
stylesheet as "display:none".</p>
<p>There are many uses for this raw output - in particular, you can work around most of the current limitations
in the conversion tool (as listed in <a href="#TO_DO_LIST">TODO section</a>). For example, you can send the RTF code for
an image, even if the conversion tool doesn't handle images yet:</p>
<code><xhtml2rtf:raw class="rtf">{\*\shppict{\pict\picw3043\pich3043\picwgoal1725\pichgoal1725\pngblip
89504e470d0a1a0a0000000d49484452000000730000007308020000002421aab1000000017352474200aece1ce90000000467414d410000b18f0bfc61050000
...
}}</xhtml2rtf:raw></code>
<p>To find out what RTF code is appropriate for this image, I just used Word to edit a document with a picture,
and then saved it in RTF format. I opened the resulting file as text, and copied/pasted the RTF code into
the XHTML output, within <code><xhtml2rtf:raw></code> tags.</p>
<a name="RTF_FIELDS"><h4>RTF-specific fields</h4></a>
<p>Some RTF-specific fields are available in the conversion tool:</p>
<h5>Page Number</h5>
<p>You can display the current page number in your RTF document via <code><xhtml2rtf:page_number></code>:</p>
<pre>
PAGE <xhtml2rtf:page_number/>
</pre>
<h5>Total Number of Pages</h5>
<p>You can display total number of pages in your RTF document via <code><xhtml2rtf:total_number_of_pages></code></p>
<pre>
PAGE <xhtml2rtf:page_number/> / <xhtml2rtf:total_number_of_pages/>
</pre>
