Hi Folks,
Suppose you are scanning an XML document or HTML document from the first character to the last character.
In the scanning process, you encounter a less than ( '<' ) symbol.
You must determine if it denotes the beginning of a start tag.
What checks must be made to make this determination?
I think these are the checks:
Let c = the character currently being examined.
Let nextchar = the character following c
if c == '<' and nextchar != '/' and nexchar != '!' and nextchar != '?' then we are at the beginning of a start tag
Do you agree? Am I missing any checks?
/Roger
