Tag Soup Description

TagSoup is a SAX2 parser written in Java. TagSoup is a SAX2 parser written in Java that, instead of parsing well-formed or valid XML. Tag Soup parses HTML as it is found in the wild: nasty and brutish, though quite often far from short.By providing a SAX interface, it allows standard XML tools to be applied to even the worst HTML. It is a parser, not a whole application; it isn't intended to permanently clean up bad HTML, as HTML Tidy does, only to parse it on the fly.The following options are understood:--files Output into individual files, with html extensions changed to xhtml. Otherwise, all output is sent to the standard output. --html Output is in clean HTML: the XML declaration is suppressed, as are end-tags for the known empty elements. --omit-xml-declaration The XML declaration is suppressed. --method=html End-tags for the known empty HTML elements are suppressed. --pyx Output is in PYX format. --pyxin Input is in PYXoid format (need not be well-formed). --nons Namespaces are suppressed. Normally, all elements are in the XHTML 1.x namespace, and all attributes are in no namespace. --nobogons Bogons (unknown elements) are suppressed. Normally, they are treated as empty. --nodefaults suppress default attribute values --nocolons change explicit colons in element and attribute names to underscores --norestart don't restart any normally restartable elements --any Bogons are given a content model of ANY rather than EMPTY. --lexical Pass through HTML comments. Has no effect when output is in PYX format. --reuse Reuse a single instance of TagSoup parser throughout. Normally, a new one is instantiated for each input file. --nocdata Change the content models of the script and style elements to treat them as ordinary #PCDATA (text-only) elements, as in XHTML, rather than with the special CDATA content model. --encoding=encoding Specify the input encoding. The default is the Java platform default. --help Print help. --version Print the version number.Requirements:· Java 1.4.2 or laterWhat's New in This Release:· The main issue was with HTML comments, which were very badly broken: any > character would terminate one, so commenting out elements did not work properly.· Everything should now be correct.· Everyone should update who possibly can.· Additionally, &#Xnnnn (with capital X) now works, some debugging code was removed from PYXWriter, a Unicode BOM at the beginning of a document is skipped, and the new version of Saxon is supported as an XSLT processor.· Documentation has been added on SAX features and properties specific to TagSoup.
