Re: [xsl] pass malformed HTML through the parser?

Jeff,

Converting the data to xhtml is an excellent plan, but there is still value in being able to leave the raw data essentially untouched at least while you are testing the conversions. (Bad HTML can really mess up quite badly during such a transform ... ).

A temporary solution is to first rewrite each html file as

<?xml version="1.0">
<questionable_html_fragment><![CDATA[
original content goes here ...
]]></questionable_html_fragment>

You can then use the document function to read these files in. (You may have to watch out for embedded "]]>" 's in the files)
