Hi,
Not sure if you want to go this way, but take a look at Andy
Clark's NekoHTML parser -- I think he 'corrects' HTML much as you want
to correct your XML. If you're curious: http://www.apache.org/~andyc/.

Subject: Using xerces to correct non well-formed documents
I am trying to use the xerces SAX parser to correct documents that are
potentially non well-formed, i.e. some end-tags may be missing. I have
already written a ContentHandler that generates the missing end-tags,
but I
don't know how to make the parser aware of my corrections (if I don't,
it
aborts with a fatal error since it expects a well-formed input). Let me
illustrate the situation:
input file corrector behaviour
---------- -------------------
.
.
.
<A> <!-- corrector writes <A> to output file -->
<B> <!-- corrector writes <B> to output file -->
<C> <!-- corrector writes <C> to output file -->
</C> <!-- corrector writes </C> to output file -->
</A> <!-- missing </B>:
. - corrector writes </B> to output file
. - parser aborts with fatal error
. -->
---
Is it possible to make xerces aware of the correction so that it
continues
parsing the input document?
If not, do you know of any other XML parser that might be able to deal
with
this?
If not, do you have any solutions/ideas/suggestions/experiences
concerning
this problem?
Thank you for your help!
