The parser from libxml2 that lxml provides has a recovery option, i.e. it can keep parsing regardless of errors and will drop the broken content. However, it is *always* better to fix the input, if you get any hand on it. Broken XML is *not* XML at all. If you can't fix the source, you can never be sure that the data you received is in any way complete or even usable. Stefan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
