Abstract

A system and method for producing a document formatted according to Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) from an electronically stored original document while preserving the visual presentation properties of the original document as characterized by the document-authoring application used to create the original document. The system comprises a document converter, which includes a conversion engine and an interface for a document-authoring application. The document-authoring application interface generates a set of raw conversion data from the original document. The conversion engine assembles the raw conversion data into the HTML document. The raw conversion data may comprise a set of files formatted according to Hypertext Markup Language (HTML).
