Dear dc-general
Expanding on Laura Akerman's request for tools to edit Dublin Core and other
metadata records in XML, we are very keen to find a simple, easy to use tool
that will help create a structured text with a variable set of outputs such
as Word (or some printable format) as well as HTML, XML and even RDF.
Right now, it appears that the only tool available to create a structured
text is MS Word/Outline. However, when you save it as HTML, the result is
clunky and full of (undesirable) MS proprietary markup that requires so much
rework that it is quicker to write the HTML from scratch (ditto the XML).
This would seem like such a basic thing that we all should be able to create
adaptable texts with multiple manifestations that there must be something
out there - any ideas?
Best wishes
Simon
