Re: resolve html entities

Thanks,

I would suggest parsing the HTML using John Cowan's TagSoup parser. This
looks to the XSLT processor just like an XML parser, so you can probably
integrate it directly - depending on the XSLT processor that you are using.

Subject: resolve html entities

Hi,

I know this is a common question but I could not find a specific answer to this:

I am exporting texts from a database that contains html markup. Now I need to transform
the html to something usable in a DTP application.

The tags are not the problem because I am only allowing a subset of html but the html entities
(german umlauts, special characters) would need to be transformed to plain Unicode (UTF-8)
characters.

What is the best way to achieve this?

Thanks,

Max Gaerber
