Dennis,
You are correct, this is only half the solution. What I did was to read
through the DOM umnarshaller examples provided, then used the
javax.text.HTMLDocument to store the HTML section. The DOM parsing
allows reading the raw text up to a close tag, which I used, then passed
the entire thing to the HTMLDocument which did the parsing.
It worked perfectly, allows use of the Java Document editing interfaces
and didn't require any changes to the internal JiBX code to work (unlike
the marshalling).
