</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>yes. i accept that. But is there a better way of converting JDOM to HTML ? </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>I am not convinced with converting JDOM to streamsource and coverting into </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>HTML using XSLT. how much is the performance loss ?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Is there a native XSLT for JDOM available ?</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>> Hi</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> I have a problem when I try to add content included the signs "<"</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> and ">"to an element. I write:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> element.addContent("<HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>");</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>The characters '<' and '>' are xml characters and jdom asumes when these </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>characters is in a child content that these characters is to be escaped as </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>not to be read as xml characters ( '&lt;' is the escape for '<' and '&gt;' </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>for '>').</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>To get what you need i jdom you must make a 'HTML' element and add a 'HEAD' </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>element and a 'BODY' element as children to the 'HTML' element.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Content inside the body must then be added as children to the 'BODY' </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>element.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>example:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Element root = new Element("HTML");</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Document doc = new Document( root );</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>root.addContent(new Element("HEAD");</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Element body = new Element("BODY"); </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>root addContent(body);</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Element header1 = new Element("H1");</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>body.addContent(header1);</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>header1.addContent("text 1");</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>body.addContent("text 2");</FONT>
</P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>When outputting this document you shoud get someting like</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2><HTML></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> <HEAD/></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> <BODY></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> <H1>text 1</H1></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> text 2</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> </BODY></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2></HTML></FONT>
</P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>But im not certain JDOM is good for html as valid html is not nesesarily </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>valid xml.</FONT>
