[Xweb-developers] XWeb and JTidy

[murphee (W. Schuster) <wer...@ne...>]

howdy Peter,

I am about to use XWeb to maintain a Website, well actually I am
building the skeleton for a website, and other users will maintain
it and provide content.

Now, my problem is, those users, while tech savy, don't know a lot
about XML, and even if they do, I don't want to force them to
produce valid XHTML as input (I can picture myself getting mails
telling me that "XWeb crashes with an exception", just because
some input file was not valid).

Now, this can be solved by pre-processing each file with JTidy;
Initially I wanted to do this with Ant (basically just processing
each file with JTidy and writing the resulting files to a
temp directory, and then using that directory as input for XWeb;
I won't do that right now, for some reasons, but might reconsider
in the future).

Now, I think it would be best to simply adapt XWeb to simply
pre-process a file with JTidy before handing it to XSL;
I found that I could simply do that in XSLDocument, where
you open the file and generate it's DOM tree from it;
Is this the only place that I have to change, or do I have
to adapt something else?
