[xwiki-users] HTML DOM parser? (was: Xwiki.com API stability and Class/Object model)

[THOMAS, BRIAN M (ATTSI)]

Pablo:

Yes, I found the JTidy package (as an option to another one in XWiki's
libs), but the HTML parser's constructor seemed to depend on some other
stuff that I don't think I can synthesize; I think there's yet another
one in the XWiki distribution, but I haven't looked at it yet (low
priority for now).

Of course, I can always use Javascript, yuck (not that I dislike it per
se, but due to the hegemonious lusts of a certain corporation - the bane
of my professional existence, which I am ashamed to say is from my own
country - cross-browser compatibility rates just above un-anaesthetized
oral surgery on my personal list of preferences)...

I will investigate TagSoup, though; thanks.
