Systems and methods for converting a formatted document to a web page

A computer-implemented method for transforming a document to a web page, the method comprising:

• allowing, at a computing device, a user to select a document style from document styles of a document in a first column portion and a corresponding style from styles of the web page in a second column portion on a same interface which the first and second column portions are presented;
• allowing the user to choose between styles that are used to transform the document, the styles including a first style that approximates formatting of the document, a second style that maps the document to particular style of the web page, and a third style that transforms an extensible markup language (XML) document to the web page;
• allowing the user to select between different layout templates to define how the web page is rendered;
• allowing the user to choose to create and store the web page in a current publishing site or to select a publishing site;
• mapping the document styles in a document to the styles of the web page;
• extracting resources from the document;
• storing the extracted resources at a location defined by a content type;
• assigning each of the extracted resources a name to uniquely identify each resource;
• converting contents of the document into hypertext markup language based on the mapping;
• rendering the web page based on the hypertext markup language;
• and
• outputting the web page.
