XHTML formatting and Assistance


Business Wire began to include XHTML within our NewsML envelope in 2006.  We adhere to strict XHTML standards as documented on the W3.org site.

XHTML provides the  cleanest visual presentation of press releases and financial tables.  It also enables font enhancements such as bold, italic and underlined text  as well as display of  bullet points, subheads,  superscripts, subscripts and various fonts.

Business Wire recently added shaded rows and Excel style borders to assist readability of large financial tables.

We have developed tools that transform our NewsML/XHTML into an HTML file.  Applying a CSS will create a native look for Business Wire stories on your site.

Available Sample Applications

The sample applications available below parse a Business Wire NewsML document, append a headline and  body content items together in an HTML DOM and output the resulting HTML document. These are examples of non-XSL solutions for using Business Wire's NewsML/XHTML.

NOTES REGARDING THE JAVA PACKAGES:

Two packages:
There are two Java files in compressed archives; they are the same application. Only the source text format is different: the ZIP archive is in Windows format (i.e., with line breaks) and the GZ archive is in Unix format.

Compiling:
These compile with JDK1.4x without any additional packages ; with JDK5+, you also need to include Xalan from Apache in the classpath.
