Hello everybody, the software developer who brought you RoboCage and STXDocument is now proud to release ZooDocument 1.0. ZooDocument is a Zope product that integrates OpenOffice.org documents into ZPT based Zope sites. "But OpenOffice.org supports HTML export of all document types. So why this product?", you may ask. Here's my answer: Imagine a scenario where people not knowing anything about HTML are trying to publish their text documents. Most probably, they will use the HTML export feature of their favourite text processor which produces crappy HTML. That both doesn't validate and is hard to change manually. Now these people put their crappy HTML in Page Templates which. They errors because a </p> is missing. The people will end up with a lot of frustation and you will end up with a lot of phone calls... Admittedly, a complicated text document converted by ZooDocument still looks like it's been created by a program. However, it is *much* easier to edit manually since everything is indented the way it should be. Secondly, it definitely validates, not only for ZPT but also for the W3C validator. As a bonus, it makes heavy use of style sheets, thus separating content and presentation even at that level. ZooDocument is released under the terms of the Mozilla Public License. I encourage everyone to try it out and maybe even use it in your site or parts of it in your product. When you do, tell me how it worked for you!
