More details on WordML can be found at Microsoft Office Word 2003 Preview. It supports a native XML vocabulary called the Word Markup Language (WordML).

XML is no longer an afterthought Word has been completely designed around XML from the ground up. The new XML support in Word 2003 is one of its most exciting and powerful features.

Luckily, Microsoft Office Word 2003 is now available. Having the entire book in XML has been extremely valuable, but the road was too painful. Thousands of angle brackets later, I swore never to do it again. So I was back to good old Emacs to write the XML by hand. As I experimented with the Save as HTML functionality, the only technique available at the time for making Word produce a marked-up document, it quickly became apparent that a Save as XML option was needed. This would have allowed me work in the familiar Word environment to produce the XML content. I was looking for ways to both author the chapters with the rich editing and formatting capabilities of Word and define a mapping between the Word document and an XML structure. When I started to investigate how I might accomplish this, I opened Microsoft® Office Word 2000 and began to experiment.

I figured that producing the book in XML would allow me to reuse the content elsewhere, transform the content into different output formats, and make it easy to manipulate with myriad XML technologies including XPath, XSLT, the various XML APIs, and possibly even XQuery. Several years ago I began a new book project and decided to write the entire project in XML.
