[PHP] Downgrading HTML

2010-09-16 Thread Matt Neimeyer 
I know I could possibly hack something together using the Tidy
libraries... (maybe...) but are there any existing php libraries /
projects that already have the ability to take some HTML and
downgrade the version of HTML being used.

One example: turn this...

   p style=font-weight: boldBlah/p

... into ...

   pbBlah/b/p

This is for an eReader I love but is long out of production and the
converter tool only works with HTML 3.2

Thanks in advance.

Matt

You'd need a full on HTML parser, as what about an element that is given
a bold font from an included stylesheet? Where would you put the bold
tag then? Regular expressions really won't cut this either. Maybe it's
time to look for a different reader?

Thanks,
