HTML to XML in Perl?
|

| Ilya Zakharevich 2006-05-12, 7:57 am |
| Suppose I want to translate an HTML to a XML-well-formed HTML (so that
I can, e.g., apply xsltproc to the result). E.g., HTML::TreeBuilder
can apply "usual heuristics" to parse HTML; how to get XML out of it?
Thanks,
Ilya

Question: I use XML, not XHTML, at home, and use XML::Twig to convert it
to HTML. I can use xsltproc if I want to on the XML file.
You might want to traverse the parse tree HTML::TreeBuilder generates.
Also, not 100% sure, but it might me that HTML tidy can do the XHTML
conversion for you:
Google...
"Validator fixes errors in HTML and XHTML. Converts HTML to XHTML. Free
Software."
http://www.google.com/search?q=html%20tidy%20xhtml
Sounds like it does :-D.
