Abstract

The disclosed embodiments relate to a system and method to convert multi-file database structures to Hypertext Markup Language (“HTML”). In particular, the disclosed embodiments convert multiple workbook files, generated by the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet program, into HTML including converting inter-file references to appropriate functional hyperlinks. The disclosed embodiments perform a two-pass conversion process, the first of which converts each of the workbook files to HTML and generates a list identifying all of the inter-file links/references which are not converted An HTML equivalent hyperlink is also generated which is stored in the list in association with the identified link/reference. On the second pass, each of the newly created HTML files is processed to replace the unconverted link/reference with the generated HTML equivalent hyperlink. The resulting HTML files are fully converted and properly linked.
