HTML Generator
I've been using the HTML Generator at the top of a pipeline to
dynamically reprocess some HTML. It turns out that an interaction
between JTidy and the DOM Streamer used in HTMLGenerator cause some
problems. JTidy treats the content of a <script> element as CDATA (it
doesn't further parse the content) and DOMStreamer then escapes
characters like '<', '&', etc. The typical comments around javascript
e.g.
<script ...>
<!--
function foo() {
...
}
//-->
</script>
leave you with
<script ...>
<--
function foo() {
...
}
//-->
</script>
This breaks the javascript and causes all sorts of havoc. It looks like
the two options are either fix JTidy (which seems to have not been
touched for around 4 years) or write a transform to undo the effects of
the interaction.
Has anyone else run into this problem? Any thoughts will be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

Or, you could try a NekoHTMLGenerator I have written (but hardly
tested). It uses NekoHTML instead of JTidy to parse the HTML.
No idea how it'll handle your scenario.
If you're interested, email me, and I'll send you what you need.
