Web Page Settings

The next group of settings stored in WordprocessingML is web page settings. These settings specify two categories of settings:

Settings which are related to HTML documents (i.e. frameset definitions) that may be used in WordprocessingML documents as well

All settings which affect how this document shall be handled when it is saved as HTML. Actually saving a document as HTML is outside of the scope of this Office Open XML Standard, but in order to ensure the maximum interoperability between a WordprocessingML document and an HTML document, settings not explicitly stored elsewhere are stored in these settings.

[Example: Consider the following WordprocessingML fragment for the web page settings in a WordprocessingML document:

<w:webSettings>
<w:frameset>

</w:frameset>
<w:doNotUseLongFileNames w:val="true" />
</w:webSettings>

The webSettings element contains all of the web page settings for this document. In this case, the web page settings specified for this document are: a frameset defined using the frameset element (§2.15.2.18); and a setting specifying that when this file is saved as a web page, all resulting files shall not exceed 8.3 characters in length using the doNotUseLongFileNames element (§2.15.2.13). end example]
