This sounds like a job for JTidy. You can use JTidy to parse badly written XML or HTML and it'll do its best to tidy it up a bit. There's a JTidy example in dom4j/src/samples/JTidyDemo.java

Basically, I have content that I can't be sure will be XML-valid markup because it's being created by retail-level users. So I've wrapped it up in a CDATA element. Then in the XSL file I'm transforming the XML with I call the questionable element with a value-of tag. Yet, I still end up with angle brackets being translated to the ASCII equivelent: Montgomery <i>Partners</i> Survey on Alternative I don't really intend to use this within a JSP (not primarily, anyway), and in any case, the xtags taglib appears to do the same thing, but I've been testing it in this JSP code: <%! String content = ""; %> <% String xslURL = "http://intranet.dev.hnw.com:8080/xsl/wealthnews_email_html.xsl";; String xmlURL = "http://intranet.dev.hnw.com:8080/xml/wealthnews.xml";; // file document URL url = new URL(xmlURL); SAXReader reader = new SAXReader(); Document document = reader.read(url); // transform document TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance(); Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer( new StreamSource(xslURL) ); // style document using transformer DocumentSource source = new DocumentSource( document ); DocumentResult result = new DocumentResult(); transformer.setOutputProperty("indent","no"); transformer.setOutputProperty("omit-xml-declaration","yes"); transformer.transform( source, result ); Document transformedDoc = result.getDocument(); // document transformation to string StringWriter buffer = new StringWriter(); OutputFormat outFormat = new OutputFormat(); outFormat.createCompactFormat(); XMLWriter writer = new XMLWriter(buffer,outFormat); writer.write(transformedDoc); String text = buffer.toString(); writer.close(); content = text; %> <%= content %> Any suggestions? I've tried it using the HTMLWriter as well -- which interacts better with JSP output but still messes with the markup. ..................................................
