[XML4Lib] batch conversion of HTML files to XML

[John Fitzgibbon]

Hi,

Is it possible to convert a folder of HTML files to XML without having to edit each file with a text editor that supports regular expressions? In the past this is how I accomplished this task but I am hoping there is an easier way.

The process would have to change tags like <br> to <br/>. Input tags in forms would also have to be closed.

It may have to close tags like <p> and <li>.

Finally, attribute values are not necessarily bounded by quotes. For example, width=200 will have to become width="200".

Am I searching for a holy grail?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Regards
Jon
