btw, one of the things I want to talk about is open standards - I wanted to create a doc file and an odt file, open both in a text editor and show that the doc file is full of binary junk, whereas the odt file is in xml format - but I find that when I did it, the odt file was also full of binary junk - how do I get it in xml format?
well it turns out the new "office open xml" (docx, pptx etc) format used by Microsoft office is also xml based (and zipped). i dont have access to any docx files to verify this though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_xml
cool - another request: it all comes in one line - what is the easiest way of formatting it?
just open them in firefox.
