To my knowledge, there has never been a general SGML parser written in
Java; however, there is a Java-based HTML parser with much SGML
functionality that was written originally for HotJava. I have no idea
where it lives right now, but it might be worth poking around.
Another alternative, if the HTML really is valid HTML, is to do a
first pass with James Clark's SX application (part of SP) to convert
the HTML to well-formed XML, then do the rest of the work in Java with
XML parsers.
We desperately need a SAX parser that parses HTML instead of XML --
any takers?
All the best,
David
