    A template that generates text (not HTML)

    As I understand the presentation of forms in InfoPath is via an .xslt template that takes XML data and generates HTML.

    I have a case where I would like the template to generate plain text (i.e. no formating). This is becuase the resulting filled form must be exported to a system (an old HIS = Hospital Information System) that can only record and display a text file (the text is displayed inside the system client in a simple text window, ala Notepad). Any suggestion on the best way to do this?

    I guess I could generate HTML as usual and then do some HTML->Text conversion (stripping), and hope it looks reasonable. Any better idea?

    Thanks,

    Why not adding a button with a procedure to create a text file in the format you want? I do so when I need to create a CSV file from my form.
