HTMLToXHTML Function

Overview

The HTMLToXHTML function takes an input stream of HTML code and conforms the tagging XHTML.

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

string = HTMLToXHTML ( handle hData | string data, dword options], [handle log] );

Parameters

hData or data

A handle to a SGML Object, Mapped Text or Edit Object. Or,

A string containing HTML code;

options

An optional dword specifying conformance flags. The default value is 0x00000000, see Remarks.

log

An optional handle to a Log Object to receive any errors or warnings.

Return Value

A string containing the conformed code, a message or an empty string on error. Use the GetLastError function to retrieve a formatted error code.

Remarks

The HTMLToXHTML function takes a source HTML code base and attempts to conform it XHTML. The function reads each tag and character entity and then writes an adjusted version back to the output string. In addition, the code can be tidied for conformed line endings and width.

Errors are normalized and HTML attributes promoted to CSS as appropriate. If a log is provided, errors and warnings are dumped to the log. Certain deprecated tags are automatically updated as required. For example, <FONT> is replaced with <span>.
