Microsoft Word 2003 – one XML InfoSet, a Microsoft Word 2003 rendition

Article

So do you want a Microsoft Word 2003 rendition instead of the HTML rendition of my previous post? Why not? A mind can be downloaded to a variety of formats, HTML, Word, PDF, PS, RTF, flat, CSV, Excel, Visio, etc.

Accordingly to the Office 2003 XML Reference Schemas, a Microsoft Word 2003 XML document has the following basic top elements:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>

<?mso-application progid="Word.Document"?>

<w:wordDocument

xmlns:w="https://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2003/wordml"

xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"

xmlns:w10="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word"

xmlns:sl="https://schemas.microsoft.com/schemaLibrary/2003/core"

xmlns:aml="https://schemas.microsoft.com/aml/2001/core"

xmlns:wx="https://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2003/auxHint"

xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"

xmlns:dt="uuid:C2F41010-65B3-11d1-A29F-00AA00C14882"

xmlns:ns0="https://marcod.org/Doc1"

w:macrosPresent="no"

w:embeddedObjPresent="no"

w:ocxPresent="no"

xml:space="preserve">

<o:DocumentProperties/>

<w:fonts/>

<w:styles/>

<w:docPr/>

<w:body/>

</w:wordDocument>

So our basic Microsoft Word 2003 rendition could be like the following XSLT stylesheet:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<x:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:x="https://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:t="https://marcod.org/Doc1">

<x:output method="xml" version="1.0"/>

<x:template match="/">

<x:processing-instruction name="mso-application">

<x:text>progid="Word.Document"</x:text>

</x:processing-instruction>

<w:wordDocument

xmlns:w="https://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2003/wordml"

xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"

xmlns:w10="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word"

xmlns:aml="https://schemas.microsoft.com/aml/2001/core"

xmlns:wx="https://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2003/auxHint"

xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"

So far, so good but somehow uncomfortable with this particular rendition to a particular XML schema, a more general solution perhaps involves some more programming (great!) with MSXML parser or System.Xml namespace or XSLT meta-programming, will see.
