Jim _ thought that was the whole point of xHTML? That is that xHTML is HTML that works with XML parsers - that is why you can view xHTML outlines in tools such as GoLive. I assumed htmltext from it's look was xHTML compliant - ans so always assumd that it would be straightforward to parse with the XML tools....
The question is where the logic breaks - is it that xMHTML cannot be parsed with the XML tools in Rev - or is it that for some crazy reason htmltext is not XHTML compliant (ie a subset of xHTML) and therefore alid XML. If the latter which I suspect? - what would I need to do to htmltext to make it valid XML? On 23/12/06, Jim Ault <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
HTML text is a system of tags that signal what item is <start> </end> whereas XML is much more of an 'outliner' with inheritance defining children and nodes. They both have the <> </> look, but HTML is not regimented the same way except for Tables, Frames, and a few other constructs. Now if you add in javascript and css, HTML is even less like XML, so the parent.child relationship is even more remote. It is hard to imagine a single parser that would work for both. Perhaps in special cases that you generate to stay within rules.
