Hi, I am doing a light edit on scholarly articles written in Word by different authors, then converting them to XHTML using Dreamweaver (File, Import, then Tools, Clean up Word HTML). I can validate the XHTML and test the results. But I've noticed plenty of errors, both minor (punctuation in odd places, some tabs converted to list items) and significant (text missing, end notes converted to plain text). Is there a tool to compare JUST THE TEXT, block by block, between the input Word documents and the output HTML?
I would actually like to see formatting and functional comparisons (mostly links). Yes, I could proofread the results, but I get tired of moving my head from left to right, and back again. I'm not good at it, and it takes hours. I wouldn't want my conversion process to take peer-reviewed scholarly text and toss random amounts into the bit bucket.
