The text output file is in XHTML format, which provides the following benefits:
▪On-the-fly control over the appearance of output, particularly tables.
▪Context sensitive help.
▪Drag and drop of tables from Amos into other applications, such as Excel and Word, retaining both the table structure and appearance.
▪The new format has the same archival benefits as plain ascii text. It does not require a proprietary viewer. You can view an Amos output file in a web browser
▪Amos output can be parsed by an XML parser. If you are writing a program to analyze Amos output, you can use an XPATH expression to extract any desired portion of the output for further processing.
