Look at this code! Can anybody tell me...was it generated from MS Office? Is this XML?

Looks like the top line of a word document that got "converted to html". If you notice in the last line it says word. When you save as web page in word it puts all sort of crap in the code. Powerpoint and excel I think take the cake for terrible code.

It is trying to conform to xml standards Bwahahha!!!

A side note -
I recently discovered that Word Perfect does a relatively clean job of creating HTML. Still needs some clean-up, but it's in the ball park.

Dreamweaver has a special feature designed for one purpose, cleaning up word html.

The reason MS Office writes such "interesting" code is that such a file can be used back in MS Office again without any limitations. If it would write plain HTML (as if M$ knew what that is - oops, did I say just that) you could no go back to MS Office with it.

But I'd like to see a "convert to PURE HTML", but again, as if they knew...

For the really seldom cases I have to do this, I use Dreamweavers function of converting to HTML from Word-HTML :)
