... AFAIK TagSoup and the HTML5 spec are the only contenders. TagSoup has the constraint "quod scripsit, scripsit": it cannot recall SAX events and issue new...

Hello TagSoup Friends, I am new to tag soup. Can someone point me to getting started docs? or some code snippets on how to use TagSoup to parse HTML into DOM? ...
... It depends on which DOM implementation you are using. With the exception of Xerces (which has a built-in parser), most DOMs allow you to specify the SAX...
