- Abstract
We propose a new type of style markup language to address the need for separation of content and presentation in office document formats, allow the reuse and sharing of styles in a standard way, and attain good interoperability with HTML/CSS as well as good compatibility with the current UOF specification. We begin with a review of the development of the office document format represented by UOF and the web document format HTML/CSS. We note that in spite of independent development both types of document format are moving towards separation of content and presentation, and therefore good interoperability is expected. We illustrate by example what the proposed mark-up language could look like and give an example to illustrate its use in transforming a sample HTML/CSS page into UOF. In the conclusion we note the importance of such a mark-up language for the future of the web office, or Office 2.0, which is considered by many to be the future of office applications in the age of cloud computing.
