Majix Enhancement

Majix is a software tool licensed under Mozilla Public Licence 1.1 and designed to convert RTF input into XML format. It converts RTF styles and some document characteristics into a XML file conforming to a DTD-based default template. Out of the default template, the names of the XML tags may be changed by the user. But an outstanding issue is its functionality of fully converting bullets and numberings items into expected XML elements: the latest Majix (version 1.2.2, released November 15, 2000) cannot recognise bullets and numberings items that are created with compliance of RTF specifications beyond version 1.3. This document proposes a solution that Majix can be enhanced to support bullets and numberings items that are created compliant with postversion 1.3 RTF specifications. The core of enhancement is the revision of two of Majix’s java classes with two modified methods and 12 new ones. The test result suggests that the enhancement meets the expectation of fully converting bullets and numberings items into expected XML elements.
