RE: [xml-dev] Well formed HTML5

[William Velasquez <wvelasquez@visiontecnologica.com>]

Thank you everyone for sharing these links. 

For my particular need, I want to try HTML5 Tidy to do something like TagSoup.

I compiled it for Windows (if anyone finds it useful, there is a compiled version here: http://portal.visiontecnologica.com/descargas/tidy/). What I need is to ignore unknown tags (I'm using it on Web Components import files, and those have a lot of new element declarations), but I can't find an option to ignore non-standard tags. The only option I see is declaring them on the config file, but isn't practical.

In the other hand, validator.nu looks like a very interesting parser so see integrated in eXist-db.

Yes. We (W3C) aren't able to make breaking changes to XML; XML 1.1 taught us that, painfully.
