[jdom-interest] Content missing after conversion from W3C Element to JDOM2 Element

[Larsen]

Hi Rolf,

first of all, thanks for your extensive help!

That´s nice to hear. I was already wondering wether my English is too bad  
or if the javadoc is so crudely written that I can´t understand it.

It´s "org.w3c.tidy.DOMTextImpl". I use JTidy to bring HTML code I obtain  
 from a customer´s database into Java objects.
So, should I file a bug against JTidy?


My code in that area in case it helps:

     private org.w3c.dom.Document getDocFromTidy(String html) {

         Tidy tidy = new Tidy();
         tidy.setShowWarnings(false);
         tidy.setQuiet(true);
         tidy.setXHTML(true);
         tidy.setDocType("omit");

         // convert text representation to Document
         InputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(html.getBytes());

         try {
             bais.close();
         } catch (IOException e) {
             log.error("Exception on closing the InputStream", e);
         }

         return tidy.parseDOM(bais, null);
     }
