Popularity: 8.25 Rating: 4.68 out of 5 1 2 3 4 5 Library and demonstration application - 31.3 Kb Introduction This library produces a domain tree of a given HTML document, allowing the developer to navigate and change the document in an methodical way. In addition to the basic HTML production, this library can also be used to produce XHTML documents, as it includes an HTML 4 entity encoder. Included in this release is a demonstration application in VB.NET showing how to use the library. I hope that it is all fairly self-explanatory. Background This library was written to avoid having to convert a document into XML prior to reading, whilst preserving the distinct HTML qualities. This gets round some deployment issues I had with different platforms. Using the code The simplest way to use the code is to add it into your solution as a C# class library. There are no third-party dependencies so it is just a matter of adding the source files in. Alternatively, you can build the DLL and add it as a reference. Points of Interest The XHTML production is fairly basic - there is no built-in DTD checking. So far, I have had no problems in the generation, but I'm keen on getting that sorted. History 1.4 Bugfix: XHTML elements are in the proper case Bugfix: XHTML will default to xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" 1.3 Bugfix: and now treated as comments Bugfix: Malformed or incomplete attribute values causing infinite loop fixed 1.2 Bugfix: now handled properly Bugfix: Parse errors of scripts Bugfix: Parse errors of styles HTML 4 entity encoding DOM tree navigation Basic node searching HTML production XHTML production (as per http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd) Added some component model stuff & comments Hid the parser 1.1 Initial release License This article has no explicit license attached to it but may contain usage terms in the article text or the download files themselves.
