OK, so I needed a quick web page to display my specs. I didn't have any WYSIWYG editors installed and I was too lazy to hand code it for such a quick thing so I used whatever I had, which in this case was MS Publisher 2003 (I had Office 2003 Pro installed). Here was the actual contents of the web page:

That much code for one lousy little page. Wow...I will hand code next time for sure.

 

EDIT: For those who don't know what actual clean HTML should look like, here is a quick code that I did (in Notepad :)) that achieves the exact same result as that behemoth of a source code above:

A million times shorter and cleaner. Plus there is a size difference of like 30,000 bytes between the horrible Publisher example and my little code.

Yeah, I made the same discovery when I tested out MS Office's app on how to make somw simple webpages. Even old frontpage had cleaner and lesser code than this.

 

If you want to use ms'apps on even simple static webpages you have to consider dedicated hosting!

Holy sh*t. :)

 

Most of that seems to be completely needless repetition of the same font-family {censored}... couldn't Publisher do that with CSS or something?

 

Meh, try Dreamweaver if you hate typing. I've had a decent experience with it. Otherwise, hand-coding FTW.

Now you wonder why Windows is what it is. I cant imagine what VB and VC++ must be doing when compiling.

 

 

 

Dreamweaver is really good.

 

Plus it can cleanup MS Frontpage code.

Coda Hand coding :)

What a mess by Publisher. Someone should implement CSS :). Or is that too 1337 for Microsoft.

 

Offtopic: 500 posts :)

I took the Liberty of checking it against a Validator: I chose HTML 4 Transitional as the DOCTYPE

This is what I got: Failed validation, 31 Errors

XHTML Validation got even worse results -_-

At least it wasn't Word...

 

What does that mean? Word is a word processor, not a web editor and it doesn't even use tags like that :( Looking at the Laughs forum index though hanzoh, I see you've replied to half the posts in the Laughs forum...

Neither is Publisher. Either way, Word can still export your documents to an HTML page and also open them up for editing, if I'm not mistaken. It's been like this since Word 98.

 

That said, Of course Office products other than Frontpage are going to produce absolutely horrid HTML. It puts in so much because it wants the document to look exactly the same as it does in your editing window. I'm not all that surprised that Publisher produced such results.
