I assume that *after* it has parsed the HTML there is something isomorphic to a DOM inside and this must have properly nested elements. [I appreciate that really bad HTML may give erroneous results, but that is not our problem.]. It should then be possible to extract this as xHTML and: (a) mix it with other XML (b) render it in the Swing Component The other thing I'd like to do is generate HTML as a string (e.g String s = "<P><EM>Hello</EM> world</P>"; and pass s to the renderer. Any idea how? This would then give us part of an XML2HTML renderer in Swing P. BTW I am making progress with JUMBO2beta. I have had a moderate amount of feedback, all of which was very useful. I am really keen that we use Swing to enhance our functionality here. Also, someone told me yesterday that the next versions of Swing were promised to be much faster and better...RSN P. > >Mike Kay > > >xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
