Abstract
Content is described having native and export portions. In an implementation, one or more computer-readable media includes instructions that are executable on a computing device to store content in a content container as a native portion and an export portion. The native portion is native to an application that originated the content and the export portion is to provide a published view of the content when the native portion is not supported.
Claims20
One or more computer-readable storage devices comprising instructions that are executable on a computing device to store content in a content container including both:
- a native portion that is in a native file format compatible with an application that originated the content to render a native version of the content;
- and
- an export portion separate from the native portion in a different file format to enable rendering of a published view of the content when the native version is not supported by a consuming application, the native portion and the export portion representing alternate fully renderable versions of the same content in the content container.
A method comprising:
- when a determination is made that a native portion of content contained in a content container and having a native file format to enable rendering of a native version of the content is not compatible with an application, reading an export portion included in the content container that is separate from the native portion in a different file format and configured to enable rendering of a published view of the content, the native portion and the export portion representing alternate fully renderable versions of the same content in the content container;
- and
- outputting the published view of the content read from the export portion.
A method comprising:
- determining that a native portion of content for a document in a content container having a native file format to render a native version of the document is not compatible with an application;
- selecting one of a plurality of export portions included separately from the native portion in the content container, in which each said export portion is configured to enable rendering of a published view of the document using a respective file format, the native portion and the plurality of export portions each representing an alternate fully renderable version of the same content for the document;
- and
- outputting the published view of the content from the selected said export portion.
