edit-on Pro
Improve Content Quality

Guaranteed XHTML compliance according to W3C standards through validation against XHTML DTD

RealObjects edit-on Pro is the only in-browser WYSIWYG editor solution guaranteeing real XHTML compliance. The editor validates any inserted content against the W3C XHMTL 1.0 Transitional DTD. So there is not way for users/authors to create content not complying with this standard.

Because the output of edit-on Pro is guaranteed to be XHTML compliant, it can easily be parsed and transformed into other formats (e.g. PDF) using XSLT, XSL-FO etc., see also Easy parsing and transforming of XHTML output using XSLT, XSL-FO etc. because of XHTML compliance.

Please note that XHTML has replaced HTML as a W3C recommendation. According to www.w3.org, "The XHTML family is the next step in the evolution of the Internet. By migrating to XHTML today, content developers can enter the XML world with all of its attendant benefits, while still remaining confident in their content's backward and future compatibility." Therefore only edit-on Pro will safeguard your long-term investment in content created.

Easy parsing and transforming of XHTML output using XSLT, XSL-FO etc. because of XHTML compliance

Because the output of edit-on Pro is guaranteed to be XHTML compliant, it can be easily parsed and transformed into other formats (e.g. PDF) using XSLT, XSL-FO etc. This allows the integrator to implement a transformation mechanism (preferably on the server-side), which could be invoked through a custom button within the editor's toolbar. The flowchart below shows a sample sequence to create a PDF document from the editor's output using open-source components.

Edit complete documents or XHTML fragments

Through a parameter the integrator can specify whether the editor shall only export the content outside the body tag (<body>...</body>) of a page or document, e.g. when saving the editor's content to a web server.

If disabled, the editor will process content outside the page body and preserve header tags (e.g. <head>...</head>, <title>...</title>, etc.). Then edit-on Pro will deliver a complete XHTML page when exporting, e.g.:

 

 

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

    "xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html>

    <head>

        <title></title>

    </head>

    <body>

       

Output when body-only parameter is disabled

    </body>

</html>

 


If enabled, the editor will only process content inside the page body i.e. all content inside of the <body>...</body> tags of a page. Enabling this features is particular important when editing fragments of a web page, e.g.:
