Hi Folks,
Last week there was a suggestion to use SgmlReader to convert HTML to XHTML. After some experimenting, I discovered that SgmlReader has some problems. See below for one such problem.
I’ve decided to implement my own tool to convert HTML to XHTML. I want the tool to make the minimal amount of changes to the HTML -- just make the changes necessary to make the HTML well-formed. As I see it, there are only 4 things that
need to be done to make the HTML well-formed:
- Ensure that attribute values are delimited with either double or single quotes.
- Ensure that every start tag has a matching end tag.
- Ensure that elements are properly nested.
- Ensure that the XML reserved characters ( <, >, &, ', ") are escaped when used in data.
Am I missing anything? If my tool does those 4 things am I guaranteed that the resulting document will be well-formed? /Roger
