Hi! I have recently come across TagSoup and want to see whether I can use it instead of JTidy. I need t be able to clean up HTML documents in a wide range of ...
... That is because TagSoup does not know which characters can be safely written to which encodings, so it plays safe and uses character references for all...
I brought up conditional IE comments a while back. I showed using some pathological examples of IE conditionals that it's impossible to proper SAX events if...
... Quite so. But there is a bug involving comments that lack the second minus sign: <!-foo--> causes TagSoup to malfunction. -- John Cowan cowan@......
Hello! We faced another problem - when parsing a HTML document, which contains the link like <a href="something.php?param=value&cap=anothervalue">, the &cap is...

I'm trying to build TagSoup from source in Eclipse. Eclipse complains about a missing HTMLSchema class. Is this the known problem with building under 1.5, or...

... That's a generated class. You need to do "ant prepare-parser", which will fail on stock 1.5, so you need to fall back to 1.4 or install a working XSLT...
... You're right. I don't think I'd ever noticed that attribute before. Still I'm not sure it should be in the output for a couple of reasons: 1. The attribute...

FWIW, Ant 1.7 was able to compile TagSoup though it still gave deprecation messages: This was under Java 1.5 by the way. Is the problem with the buggy 1.5 ...

I'm a novice to Java and XML, and I would like to use TagSoup with JAXP, since JAXP supports XPath 2.0. It is my understanding that DOM parsers use SAX parsers...
... Unfortunately I have never used JAXP. Some parsers expose both SAX and DOM, notably Xerces; I don't know which packages, if any, allow pluggable SAX. I...
... Yes. If you must use xpath 2.0, that makes sense. Otherwise alternatives (like XOM [xpath 1.0 using Jaxen] + TagSoup) are (IMO) a superior choice. ... This...
