Thanks for your work!

With a real parser of a clean syntax a Wikipedia DTD will be no problem! :-) And there will be wikipedia in RDF, too... (just dreaming :-) --Nichtich 00:19 29 May 2003 (UTC)

 * 1) It isn't going to implement any "clean syntax", rather trying to stay compatible with current one, fixing only things that break generation of correct XHTML.
 * 2) It's not finished, and I'm not completely sure if it will work that way.

What means this? -Smack

let anything = ['\000'-'\255'] we use unicode, don't we?

btw: any parser will define a more "clean syntax" than the current one (that is no parser at all). If you are able to generate correct XHTML you are also able to generate other XML formats. --Nichtich 12:42 12 Jun 2003 (UTC)

['\000'-'\255'] - any byte from 0 to 255 (decimal, yeah, ocaml rox0rz here !!!). It will work with any ASCII-compatible encoding (ISO 8859, UTF-8, ISO 2022, EUC etc.) Taw 03:27 3 Aug 2003 (UTC)

anything_but_close_ ...
Are these "anything_but_close_math" etc. really necessary? In most regexp implementations, there exists "nongreedy" wildcards.

E.g  &lt;math&gt;.*&lt;/math&gt;  will consume all text it can get, but  &lt;math&gt;.*?&lt;/math&gt;  will only consume up to the first  &lt;/math&gt;
