XQuery with HTML?

[liuyanghejerry]

Hi, I use the XQuery in Qt to read the HTML, the query is:

declare variable $inputDoc external;

doc($inputDoc)/tbody

When I use it for:

<tbody>
<xx>asd</xx>
</tbody>

<tbody>
<xx>asd</xx>
</tbody>

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

It is valid, but when I use it for:

<tbody>
		<tr class="epRowTwo">
			<td colspan="2" class="c"><img src="/images/cds/137/main.png" alt="Main Image">
</td>
		</tr>
		<tr class="epRowOne">
			<td class="b">Title</td>
			<td>
				<div style="width:300px;">
				風のメッセージ／このゆびとまれ (通常盤)

it is always invalid.

I just don't know why...

Is HTML a kind of XML?

[wysota]

It is invalid because your HTML is not a well formed XML, the img tags do not have closing tags.

[Lykurg]

... and the br tag, but you can load that html and do some simple QRegExp replacements for those tags. And with some luck you'll get a well formed XML document. There are surly libraries out there which does that job for you.
