John,

I am now trying to use your TagSoup parser, but I am running into some
trouble, because TagSoup creates an entire xhtml document. But,
instead, I just want an XML fragment containing the uploaded content.
Is there a way to easily achieve that?

=================================================

import java.io.StringReader;

import nu.xom.Builder;
import nu.xom.Document;
import nu.xom.Serializer;

import org.xml.sax.XMLReader;
import org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLReaderFactory;

public class TagSoupTest {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

// The raw content as supplied by a user
String content = "<h1>title</H1><P>Some Text<ul><li>Item
1<li>Item 2";

// Create a well-formed XML document based on the unparsed
HTML
XMLReader tagsoup = XMLReaderFactory

.createXMLReader("org.ccil.cowan.tagsoup.Parser");
Builder bob = new Builder(tagsoup);
Document doc = bob.build(new StringReader(content));

Serializer serializer = new Serializer(System.out,
"ISO-8859-1");
serializer.setIndent(4);
serializer.setMaxLength(64);
serializer.write(doc);
}
}


This will create the following output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<html version="-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<body>
<h1>title</h1>
<p>Some Text</p>
<ul>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>


But what I really want is (preferably without namespace):

<h1>title</h1>
<p>Some Text</p>
<ul>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
</ul>


Thanks,
Arjan
