Hello, how about 2-stage processing? Loading HTML into WebKitGtk, dumping DOM ( https://webkitgtk.org/reference/webkit2gtk/stable/WebKitWebPage.html#webkit-web-page-get-dom-document) which contains already parsed structure, sanitizing DOM and displaying serialized version of modified DOM for the future use?
It should be more secure, too. m. 2016-08-01 10:01 GMT+02:00 Michael Gratton <m...@vee.net>: > > Hey all, > > I'm looking for an HTML tag soup library for Geary, that can load tag soup > HTML (i.e. possibly malformed) from a stream, allow some manipulation of > it, and re-serialise it for display in WebKitGTK.
