According to ESMA, issuers must prepare their annual financial reports in the human-readable xHTML (Extensible HyperText Markup Language) format, which can be read by standard browsers without the need for specialized tools. An xHTML file could be needed if you are reporting non-consolidated figures.
Generate an xHTML file
- Navigate to the Workiva Report Tagging Tool where you can use your credentials to log in.
- After logging in, you can drag & drop your report and PDF files, or click BROWSE FILES to locate the files in a file browser.
- Select Convert or Convert and Validate to start converting your report to an xHTML file. This can take a couple of minutes depending on how big your file is and how much visual data it carries.
- Once the conversion is complete, the Workiva Report Tagging Tool displays the Summary tab.
- Click the "Download xHTML file" icon at the top right corner of the page, and specify where the xHTML file is to be downloaded to.
For further information on export options, refer to the the Workiva Report Tagging Tool Manual.
