Hi Dark, On the matter of submitting articles for the magazine articles would not have to be submitted in html. That can easily be done by the editor after the magazine is edited and ready to release to the Audyssey community. Which brings me to my second point.
These days it isn't absolutely necessary to manually tag a document by hand. there are plenty of tools that can do this for someone. For instance, most word processors such as OpenOffice Writer, LibreOffice Writer, and Microsoft Word can export documents to html. This would save the editor massive amounts of time because if he or she formatted the document using standard word processor formatting and then exported it to html it would convert it from rtf, doc, or docx to html which would save time. All that might need to be done by hand is add a table of contents and anchor tags to jump to various sections while the main body of the document has already been tagged by the word processor during the export process. That said, I hate some of the tags Word uses, but that's a different matter. Cheers! On 3/8/13, dark <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Tom. > > On the html mag front I totally and completely agree.
