MATHEMATICA IMPORT/EXPORT FORMAT

XHTML (.html, .htm, .xhtml, .xht, .xml)

Registered MIME type: application/xhtml+xml
XHTML markup language and file format.
XML-based reformulation of HTML.
XHTML is an acronym derived from Extensible Hypertext Markup Language.
Plain text XML format.
Describes the structure and aspects of the appearance of web pages.
Successor of HTML.
Published as a W3C recommendation in 2001.

Import fully supports XHTML versions 1.0 and 1.1.
Export generates documents conforming to XHTML 1.1.

Import and Export Import and Export

Import["file.xhtml"] gives a plain text representation of an XHTML file.
Import["file.xhtml", "Data"] extracts tabular data from XHTML.
Export["file.xhtml", expr] creates an XHTML version of expr.
Export["dir", expr] translates expr to XHTML, saving the output in the specified directory.
Import["file.xhtml"] returns a string, representing the textual content of the file as formatted plain text.
Export["file.xhtml", expr] exports a notebook, a cell, a list of cells, or other notebook elements to XHTML.
Export always creates a complete XHTML document, and not merely a fragment of XHTML.
The output consists of one or more XHTML files and two directories, HTMLFiles and HTMLLinks.
Mathematica by default converts typeset expressions to GIF images when exporting to XHTML.
Mathematica can export Tooltip and Hyperlink expressions, creating HTML image maps if necessary.
Import["file.xhtml", elem] imports the specified element from an XHTML file.
Import["file.xhtml", {elem, sub_a, sub_b, ...}] imports a subelement.
Import["file.xhtml", {{elem₁, elem₂, ...}}] imports multiple elements.
The import format can be specified with Import["file", "XHTML"] or Import["file", {"XHTML", elem, ...}].
Export["file.xhtml", expr, elem] creates an XHTML file by treating expr as specifying element elem.
Export["file.xhtml", {expr₁, expr₂, ...}, {{elem₁, elem₂, ...}}] treats each as specifying the corresponding .
Export["file.xhtml", expr, opt₁->val₁, ...] exports expr with the specified option elements taken to have the specified values.
Export["file.xhtml", {elem₁->expr₁, elem₂->expr₂, ...}, "Rules"] uses rules to specify the elements to be exported.
See the reference pages for full general information on Import and Export.
ImportString and ExportString support the XHTML format.

Notebook Interface Notebook Interface

Save Selection As exports the selected part of a notebook as a web page.
Save As exports an entire notebook as a web page.

Elements Elements

General Import elements:

	"Elements"	list of elements and options available in this file
	"Rules"	full list of rules for each element and option
	"Options"	list of rules for options, properties, and settings

Import elements:

	"Data"	textual and numerical content from HTML table and list elements
	"FullData"	full tabular content, including empty HTML table and list elements
	"Hyperlinks"	hyperlinks, given as a list of strings
	"Plaintext"	XHTML document formatted as text
	"Images"	images embedded in the XHTML document
	"Source"	raw XHTML source as a single string
	"Title"	HTML page title
	"ImageLinks"	URLs of embedded images
	"XMLObject"	symbolic XML representation of the entire document

Import by default uses the element.
Export elements:
"Notebook" a Notebook expression

"NotebookObject" a NotebookObject expression

"Expression" an arbitrary Mathematica expression

Options Options

Basic Export options:

"ConvertLinkedNotebooks"	False	whether to convert linked notebooks to HTML
"CSS"	Automatic	what CSS stylesheet to use or link to
"MathOutput"	"GIF"	how to represent typeset expressions
"Content"	False	whether to export MathML content elements

Possible settings for are:

	Automatic	creates a CSS stylesheet from the Mathematica stylesheet
	None	does not create a stylesheet file or inline CSS style
	"file.css"	uses a stylesheet file

The following settings can be given for :

	"GIF"	converts all typeset expressions to GIF
	"MathML"	converts all typeset expressions to MathML
	"DisplayForm"	converts all typeset expressions to ASCII approximations of their appearance
	"InputForm"	converts all typeset expressions to their InputForm
