HTML Cleaner

HTMl Cleaner for Word 1 has been updated to 1.8, with excellent efficiency, high quality result and good stability.
But it still lacks some functions.
So we now begin the work of HTML Cleaner for Word 2.0.
HTML Cleaner for Word 2 will based on 1.8 and add these new features,

1. Optional full compatibility with XHTML.
   In 1.x the compatibility with XHTML is not full, such as class name is not quoted (to reduce file size), in 2.0 users can select efficiency or standard on their purpose.
2. Options for inside or standalone CSS
   In 1.x optimized CSS is still set inside HTML file as MS Word does.
   Now in 2.0 users can choice to move CSS outside as a standalone file.
3. HTML split for big files
   Big Word document can generate very big HTML file, such as several MB in size is not rare, these big HTML file is not easy to transfer and load.
   In 2.0 users can split a big file into several smaller files on some user defined ways.

I think we are suffering from disunity among companies just like different browsers do to the same HTML and CSS standard.

Adobe and Apple implement and render ePub in different ways, cover is one case.
Adobe(and all devices based on its SDK) will ignore those code about cover and get cover from the first page automatically,
and they recommend user using SVG as cover image.
While Apple and some other devices only recognize just a defined cover picture(not a page).

So if you define the cover in tag, iPad will show it, but ADE not,
if you define the cover in the first page, iPad will not show it.
So you have to define the cover in both and the first page, but some eReader then will show the cover twice. a very annoying problem.

And I think ePub standard doesn’t state a clear, unique way of defining the cover, why just put cover so important a thing into a confusing tag, why not a tag like

Sullen for no proper browser to use these days.
IE is  troublesome, being carrier of or conspirator with malwares, I dare not use it.

Firefox, too slow on launching, I can’t wait.

Chrome, Flash cannot be disabled once it’s installed, shall I be forced to watch those overrunning advertisement on a page only contains some text I want? No.

Safari, forced font rendering, not fit for screen, we browse on screen, not on paper!

So I always use Opera, which can turn on/off Flash easily, even load/unload images as my will. This make me can surf through the sea of garbage and advertisements, catch those precious text exactly and fast.

I have been using Opera for so many years, but recently, I am getting in trouble with it. For more and more  complicated web applications  emerges, Javascript, the slowest, most inefficient language is abused everywhere. I can not turn off Javascript any more as before. And Javascript was the weak point of Opera, from 8.x to 10.5, always be. Opera’s Javascript engine is the slowest one among browsers.

Though We can condemn  those shabby web composer who are using new features unsupported by browsers and writing slow code exhausting users computer, but we cannot avoid them, which are more and more there. We can only reckon on browser with fast engine and smart handling.
But Opera made me disappointed. I just planned to succumb to the slow launching of Firefox, using Firefox more and leave Opera those pages not need of Javascript. I already began to use other browsers.

Yesterday, I gave a last glance on Opera’s official site, but to me surprise, I found there’s a new version, and there’s a line of “”
That’s what I need, that’s what Opera should have done months ago, great, I got it , at last.

At once, I downloaded and installed it. Wonderful, most problems resolved. I can visit Google smoothly, I can use applications, I need not wait, and there’s hardly 100% CPU usage on Javascript. Everything is good. Without hesitation, I uninstalled all previous Opera, 9,x,10.5, and  removed Chrome, Safari from my computer, I need them no more. Firefox remains, but seldom used, just for reference.

I feel I’m lucky being a user of Opera for some years, and my choice years ago on Opera, the smallest browser, now the fastest,  is right.

Direct DocX 1.1 which is driving DocX viewer 1.1 runs well. DocX Viewer has rewarded 4.5 star on download.com by users.

So it’s time to migrate Direct DocX 1.1 into DocX to Doc and DocX to HTML. And in Direct DocX to Doc, we also fixed some bugs in Word Doc generating.

A severe bug of popping up MS Word on some machine has been fixed.
Now you can experience the smooth conversion from DocX to Doc.
