Majix 1.0 : the new freeware in
the world of marked languages
TetraSix is now releasing Majix 1.0, a freeware you
may access by visiting the Cie's site at http://www.tetrasix.com
Majix 1.0 is the very first converter entirely written in Java
which produces XML from RTF. Thanks to Majix 1.0, the conversion
of RTF files into XML is easily done.
This tool is deemed to be found essential by those concerned
with the development of the Intranet, and those who run XML
applications, as it allows users to populate a Word database
without having first to create XML files.
This is how TetraSix caracterizes MAJIX 1.0
- First of all, Majix 1.0 is pleasantly easy to use:
the matching process between predefined Word
styles and XML data items is very easy to do.
- With Majix 1.0, every tag matching is managed
by the user. Whatever the tag set (for instance,
those tags used in any XML application and
sector based DTD), it can be used when
producing XML files. With this management
fonction, users can start their own application
from a common source
- Majix 1.0 does not have fixed style sheets:
you are free to add your own and to decide
on your personal matching between different tag sets
- Majix 1.0 is able to recognize pictures
(whether included in a Word document or
attached to it) and to place the appropriate tags.
Majix 1.0 thus not only converts, but
enriches complicated documents
- MS Word tables are analysed and translated
files contain the correct XML tags for these
charts
- Majix 1.0, because it is written according to
XML grammar rules, guarantees your
documents will be translated into well-formed XML files
- Majix 1.0 can not only be used with msxsl (by Microsoft)
to generate XML, but also
with nsgmls (designed by James Clark) to validate
the generated XML files. Majix 1.0
includes utilities which split XML documents
into different size fragments which are
adapted to any kind of publication on the World Wide Web
- Majix 1.0 offers on-line help, which any
browser of your choice will display.
Majix 1.0 is available at the following address : http://www.tetrasix.com
