[Corpora-List] Translator_HTML_to_XML

[Scott James Cederberg]

Hey there,

    HTML is an SGML document type; it includes some features (namely
    opening tags appearing without closing tags and attribute values
    appearing without surrounding quotation marks) that do not
    constitute well-formed XML.  XHTML is precisely a version of HTML
    that has been designed to be conforming XML.

    The osx program, part of the OpenSP package (a successor to James
    Clark's sp package) can automatically convert SGML files to
    corresponding XML files; you could give that a try.  OpenSP is
    maintained along with OpenJade (http://openjade.sourceforge.net/).

    I believe osx is written in C++...

    You should be able to validate the resulting XML documents against
    the XHTML DTDs, although I would imagine you'll need to make minor
    changes for full validity.

    Hope that helps.
