Markup Compatibility and Extensibility

I have implemented an OOXML-file validator [0]. It is based on System.IO.Packaging and the W3C Xml Schemas from ISO/IEC 29500:2008.

As expected it doesn't handle MCE very well (to be true, it doesn't handle it at all).

I have read through Part 3 regarding MCE, but I have some trouble getting my head around how to do the concrete MCE pre-processing of markup in the documents I validate.

Do you know of any tools that already now facilitates this task? I was expecting OpenXml SDK 2.0 to have something for me, but I haven't found it anywhere.

The SDK can be used to process MCE within a document. You can see this functionality under the Open method as an OpenSettings parameter. The setting allows you to remove all MCE markup in the document, which will leave you with a pure ISO Open XML File.

Hi Zeyadrajabi,

Thanks a lot - I did try to search high and load in the SDK documentation for anything MCE-related, but somehow I missed that one.

Thanks,

:-)
