Thanks Jan - a couple of things. First I think Rev"s XML parser seems to
complain with certian entities "Ä" for instance - which surprised me -
I am looking into it now - does anyone now what XML parser RunRe uses -
thought it was XPAT based??? And anyone know what other entities / quirks
cause problems for the Runrev XML parser?
Second xHtml compliance is what I am looking at - which means the "font"
tags are a no-no. I did not notice the non-closure of the image tag - is
that filed as a bug - should be dead easy for Rev to fix no?

Hi David,
A while ago I needed a way to make the htmlText of a
field XML-compliant. The main difficulty was in the
img tags which aren't closed. Here's what I came up
with:
##
function htmlText2xml pHtmlText
put "<img src=" & quote into kOPENTAG
put quote & ">" into kCLOSETAG
--
put 0 into tStart
put offset(kOPENTAG,pHtmlText,tStart) into tOffset
repeat until tOffset = 0
put offset(kCLOSETAG,pHtmlText,tStart+tOffset)
into tEnd
put " /" after char tStart+tOffset+tEnd of
pHtmlText
add tOffset + 10 to tStart
put offset(kOPENTAG,tText,tStart) into tOffset
end repeat
return "<?xml version=" & quote & "1.0" & quote &
"?> & return & \
"<html>" & return & pHtmlText & return &
"</html>"
end htmlText2xml
##
As the htmlText will automatically replace any
non-Latin characters with enity numbers, you don't
have to worry too much about Unicode.
Some XML parsers will complain that these entities
aren't specified anywhere. But at least you can
process the resulting xml with Rev's xml library
calls.
Hope this helped,
Jan Schenkel.
