Word Blog HTML Quality

Joe -

In my opinion you should make this blogging work with Sharepoint first. Sort out all issues there, and then publish a simple API for others to adopt.

This would be a great opportunity to establish a SOAP friendly Web service API setup, that serves as a standard for blogs.

Gotta love the openness!

I don't know enough to have picked apart your code, as you invited, but I look forward to using the final product once you've got all kinds of excellent feedback from the community!

Community Server still messes around with the HTML even if you hand it over using the webservice APIs? I know that FreeTextBox mangles it until you don't recognize it anymore, but the webservices? That's weak.

It may well be Community Server's wysiwyg editor that causes the problem. There is currently a bug in the Word blog editor that forces me to open up the post on the server and get the post time set correctly.

In comments on your last I added a suggestion to consider using styles to drive the HTML export, I take your point about simplicity over formatting fidelity, but with a good, predicatable set of styles you can do a lot.

I'd love to know what you think of this idea. Are styles still there/usable in the new Word?

This is good news but which version(s) of XHTML will Word render - 1.0 transitional, 1.1 strict or 2.0? Creating Microformats will be a doddle now. I could write a template that non-techies could populate to generate hcard, hreview etc.

I for one think this is the strongest reason to upgrade my version of Outlook and Word so long as the metaweblog API and Atom publication support allow me to blog to a variety of blogging tools and not just Spaces.

I wonder if Microsoft could go further and fully support CSS2 for template formatting in Word and JavaScript 1.5+ for macros.

I'd just like to say, I was worried (understatement) that Word would try to output any kind of HTML at all. After reading your blog Joe, I'm feeling much better about MS and the people working there.

I wish there was more people like Joe working for MS. ;)

If you can do what you say, then don't stop saying it.
