The IBM HTML parser code isn't public. I talked to the IBM group who wrote it,

There was lots of discussion on this, but not really much of a
conclusion. We're currently using Tidy as a preprocessor for nasty
random HTML pages, but it seems to be overkill. It does lots of stuff so
we get perfect HTML out the other end, rather than just creating
something that's well formed.

Sounds good to me... Less stuff to do if we decide to go w/ Sun :)

I propose we wait and see what Sun has, before we pull the OpenXML one in.
After talking with the IBM folks in Tokyo, I suspect that the IBM HTML parser
will *not* be suitable
for our needs (at this point, I think OpenXML is better, because it supports
HTML 4.0, instead of
3.2, and it handles th

That's a lot of baggage! Not to mention the Swing parser only supports HTML
3.2, if I remember
correctly.

Well the xhtml parser is infact just a small handler that builds on the
swing html parser using sax events.

There is a HTML parser in Swing/JFC. It is also event-based but not SAX.
Another bad news is the
parsed object tree is not DOM-based.

Rajiv,
Could you post a little information on the parser itself? Like
what does it do, and how much has it been tested (e.g. via web spider)?
I'm trying to get the same info from the IBM folks who are considering
going open source. The ExOffice HTML parser (already open source)
The xhtml parser from Sun is an internal only version which will be made
available for Apache as soon as the licensing issues are cleared.

Well, I hope it can be done. Couldn't you just trap elements that contain
the tag IMG as you parse the Instance? You know like using startElement and

Heather,
You can look into HTMLTidy utility: http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy/
Partially supported by HP, BTW.

If the HTML is not well-formed XML (which most is not), you are correct.
