[ code snipped ]
It's very hard to run your code. You are messing up the line ends in
your post. I 've uploaded a corrected version to
www.dotinternet.be/temp/code.txt.
Your software produces errors when using namespaces:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html-4.0";>
<mytag>content</mytag>
<html:br/>
</root>
Your software produces errors when using a DOCTYPE:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<root>
<mytag>content</mytag>
</root>
Your software produces errors when argument values are enclosed by `` '
´´ instead of `` " ´´:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<root>
<mytag myargument='argvalue'>content</mytag>
</root>
XML is case sensitive; your program doesn't seem to bother:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<mYTag myargument="argvalue">content</mytag>
</root>
I'm using Microsoft XP's XML parser to check the XML well-formedness.
Your program has many shortcomings.
