Re: parsing xHTML

Sure, if you are using actual HTML.  Doing stuff like <img/> in an html 
document is going to confuse JTidy to an extent that it's fixup won't 
work.  It will generally fixup stuff like <div><b>a bold 
sentence</div></b>, but including XHTML tags into an HTML document is just 
not going to give you good results.  I suggest that your developers verify 
their documents against a validator like the w3c's before using it with XMLC.

With XHTML (using the -dom xhtml -parser xerces options), you will be able 
to verify this an compile time instead of hoping JTidy fixes things up 
right.  That is the beauty of XML over HTML.
