[jdom-interest] Parsing Microsoft Word Documents

[Hugo Garcia]

I didn't try jtidy since the realease is so old. I rahter wait on the
new release.  TagSoup didn't work becasue ti doesn't support
namespaces in order to use XPath.

NekoHTML parses the doument correctily yet when I see the result in
Firefox (Linux) the document looks funny. I suspect it might be the
characther set where  it is specified as windows but I am not sure. I
am using XPath to modify a clone of the input document.

Any input of your experience parsing the HTML generated from Microsoft
Word is welcome.


This is the intial code that sets things in motion:

	public void run() throws FitException {
		fixtureDocumentProccessor = new FixtureDocumentProcessor();
		Document fixtureDocument = null;
		try {
			SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder("org.cyberneko.html.parsers.SAXParser");
					builder.setProperty("http://cyberneko.org/html/properties/names/elems",
"lower");
			builder.setFeature("http://cyberneko.org/html/features/override-doctype",
false);
			URL fileURL = inputFile.toURL();
			fixtureDocument = builder.build(fileURL);
		} catch (IOException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		} catch (JDOMException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		this.outputFitResults(fixtureDocumentProccessor.parse(fixtureDocument));
	}
