Re: html - xml transformation - imbricating html <p> tags in header tags

Pascale,

It sounds to me as if you should start by using HTML Tidy, as Bernhard
suggested in his last paragraph.  No matter what, you are going to
need to go from HTML to some valid XML vocabulary, and this is just
what HTML Tidy is for.  Once you have XML, then a whole range of
possibilities for using XSL opens up.

You can get HTML Tidy at http://tidy.sourceforge.net/.
