Import from HTML Files

Oxygen XML Editor Eclipse plugin offers two methods for importing HTML files into an XML document. The first method is to simply copy data from an HTML document and paste it into a document in Author mode, but this is only supported in DITA, DocBook, TEI, JATS, and XHTML documents. Oxygen XML Editor Eclipse plugin also offers a configurable import wizard that works with any type of XML document.

Smart Paste Method

If you are importing data into DITA, DocBook, TEI, JATS, or XHTML documents, you can open the HTML document in your web browser, copy its content, and paste it into your document in Author mode.

The Oxygen XML Editor Eclipse plugin Smart Paste mechanism will convert the pasted content to the equivalent XML markup and considers various pasting solutions to keep the resulting document valid, while preserving the original text styling (such as bold, italics, underline) and formatting (such as lists, tables, paragraphs).

Import Wizard Method

To use the Import wizard to import from HTML files, follow these steps:
  1. Go to File > Import/Convert > Oxygen XML Editor Eclipse plugin > HTML File to XHTML. The Import HTML to XHTML wizard is displayed.
  2. Select a parent folder and file name for the resulting XHTML document.
  3. Enter the URL of the HTML document.
  4. Select the type of the resulting XHTML document:
    • XHTML5
    • XHTML 1.0 Transitional
    • XHTML 1.0 Strict
  5. Click the Finish button.

Result: The resulting document is an XHTML file containing a DOCTYPE declaration that references the XHTML DTD definition on the Web. The parsed content of the imported file is transformed to XHTML5, XHTML Transitional, or XHTML Strict depending on the option you chose.
