This is one of the first problems OHS faces, that is how to encode
email and other non-XHTML conformant documents as XML.
Standard email is relatively easy.
For ordinary HTML documents,
especially ones that don't use the DOM,
any converter must deal with markup that is
subject to user preferences,
may not be structurally complete, and
included only for formatting.
Tidy has been suggested as a sort of pre-processing tool
used by an author prior to submission to OHS.
Then Eugene's nice email->XML program could be developed to
handle HTML4->XML.
Now I am working with Grant to get a few more samples of source code so I
can better understand the structure to develop the markup. Grant and I have
contributed to showing a suggested source code markup on the zWiki.
Thanks,
Joe
