HTML Translators
HTML translators are available for many major applications (Word Processors, Spread Sheets, etc.) Most are geared to generate an HTML page that "looks like" the original document. This has several drawbacks:
- Conventions that work well on paper often don't come across well on the Web.
- The pages are not optimized for viewing with a variety of Web browsers.
- The translator may "abuse" HTML codes to force a certain appearance.
- The translator may generate "bad" HTML in general.
- Hypertext links, if they are supported at all, are hard to manage.
