Re: [hlx] Invalid XHTML <p><h2>

[tom s. <to...@as...>]

Hi Zach:

The problem you're facing is deep in the code and has to do with the
design of hyperlatex, not the implementation.  The issue is that
hyperlatex does not parse its input code into a data structure and then
write a document based on that.  Instead, it tries to parse the document
in place, overwriting the document as it goes.  This means that it
destroys information on the way through, and some of that information
is necessary in subsequent steps if you want valid XHTML.  

The original design had it inserting "magic" characters to remember
information through those steps, but these characters aren't adequate to
store all the necessary information, and they also interfere with
attempts to make the code accommodate alternative character sets.

I am the admin of the sourceforge project, but I am happy to pass that
responsibility along to anyone who would like to contribute.  I no
longer have the time to do it justice.  I do have a trial version that
does better than the current release at the misplaced <p> problem, but
it does not fix the problem completely.  You (or anyone else) are
welcome to it, and if you'd like to patch it, make a new release, and
take over, please do.  I can certainly provide some support; I just
don't have the time to do more than that any longer.

Thanks,

 -tom
