XHTML Complient parser?

  #1
Feb 7th, 2003
Is there a program (such as Dreamweaver, Visual Studio.NET, etc) that will parse my HTML code and make it XHTML complient?

For example, I'd like to throw at it all of the pages of TechTalk forums and have it automatically convert, for example

HTML and CSS Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <input type=submit name=submit value=Go>
to
HTML and CSS Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Go" />

I figured out that Dreamweaver MX will, indeed, do this. But it only works for XHTML 1.0, and XHTML 2.0 was just announced a lil while ago. Maybe I should wait until a Dreamweaver plugin/update is available??

Nevermind, this makes no sense. When I take an HTML document and click on "convert to XHTML" all it does is add the following to the head:

HTML and CSS Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
  2. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
  3. <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

It doesn't make any other changes?

I don't know about converting your code to XHTML, but I know that all code in VS.NET (with reguard to ASP.NET Pages) are in XHTML format.

You can give XML Spy a try. Definitely an awesome program to do any XML development. I used this for a JSP shopping cart. You can give HTML Tidy a try but I'm not sure of its capabilities (have not tried it, though I hear is good). It's a free program under SourgeForge unlike XML Spy. Here are the web sites:

http://www.altova.com/products_ide.html
http://tidy.sourceforge.net/

If you need to convert to XHTML you can try this PHP function. It has some quirkiness at times. This is what I used when I was redesigning the Hofstra CSC web site for the CSC club.

HTML and CSS Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <? 
  2.  
  3. if (!empty($type)) {

  8.     $file = file($path); 
  9.     if (substr($file[0],0,9) != "<!DOCTYPE") $doctype=0; 
  10.     $file = join('', $file); 
  11.    } else { 
  12.     die ("No such file."); 
  13.    } 
  14.   } else {

I found a Dreamweaver MX extension which does the trick perfectly. The only problem is that it automatically adds <HTML><HEAD> etc tags to the top and bottom of my code, to make it "complete".

The problem with this is that this forum uses a templating system, in which the top and bottom are shared borders. Therefore, I'd have to manually remove the top and bottom code from each page (and there are a LOT of pages)!

I'm procrastinating doing it for now. Debating whether it's worth my time or if next month I'll have a whole new design going (at which time I'll make it XHTML complient right from the start).

If you're still looking, google "HTML Tidy". If that fails, it's on the W3C site somewhere.

Hi,
In the past few days i have done enough R&D in this arena.
Has anyone come across / used a XHTML Parser generator
tool in Opensource community developed in C ?
Do Kindly post the link / tool name .

I saw Amaya but it is big and will consume time
to get just the XHTML Parser / Generator from it.

1) GENX is XML Parser and No XHTML Parser / Generator
tool
developed using GENX by GENX till now.

2) EXPAT doesnt provide a opensource XHTML Parser /
Generator till today.

3) X-Smiles is simple and good but Java Based .

4) LibXml is also a library and no XHTML parser /
Generator Tool by them in opensource till today.

Has Someone got a simple setup with just
the XHTML Parser and Generator alone developed in C
available in OpenSource
or
A tool Develped Using the above library tools ?

Kindly let me know And Do Give me your link.

Thanks & Regards,
karthik bala guru
