[jdom-interest] Parsing Microsoft Word Documents

[Paul Reeves]

Hugo

There hasn't been an offical jtidy release for donkeys years but that doesnt 
mean it doesnt work! It is more than up to the task. I wouldn't hold your 
breath for a new release  in the next few months......

If you are using nekohtml i find that if you output the document by 
converting it back from a jdom document to a dom document and use an 
org.apache.xml.serialize.HTMLSerializer to output it, it usually comes out 
looking o.k.

merry chrimbo
