Subject: [xsl] How to Handle Bad XML (or Word HTML)
Hi,
Thanks again to everyone who answers on this list. You've all been
really sweet.
Today's question hopes to try and tackle a transformation of the HTML
produced by MS Word into a valid XHTML format.
In general, the problem is Word doesn't produce "valid" XML
(specifically, for many elements, attributes are not quoted). The file
I'm working with starts with the following:
<html xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40";>
Additionally, a typical element might look like this:
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;mso-hyphenate:none'><![if
!supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>
Is it even possible to use such a document as a source document and if
so, how do I handle errors returned by the XSLT processor when unquoted
attributes are found?
Thanks again to all of you who take the time to read and actually
answer these queries.
Sincerely,
Ted Stresen-Reuter
