Hi,

I am trying to do something like this:

<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="document($html_url)"/>

However the html documents I have are not always well formed so I get parser errors.

Is there any way to include these html files no metter if they are well formed or not?

I have found that wrapping the external html file's content like this:

<htmlcode><?[CDATA[ {old content} ]]></htmlcode>

does the trick.

Of course, if you wrap them in CDATA you can't use the content
except as a blob of text.

You could use the HTMLTidy adapter which we include as part of
the Stylus Studio environment, which would convert the XML to
XHTML so that you could query it, if that is what you need.

The style sheets that I am preparing are for the CMS which will be used by people who are not exceptionally good with computers. I am pretty sure that XML Tidy could fail in many transformations, because I know what these guys can do (mess) with a WYSIWYG HTML editor.

The key concept was and is to be able to include not well formed HTML documents and display them as they are.
