Basic XML parsing is now possible, e.g. in R:
require(XML)
require(RCurl)
tt <- getURLContent("http://www.carlboettiger.info/2012/10/25/stochastic-dynamic-programming-with-gaussian-process-approx.html")
doc <- xmlParse(tt)
getNodeSet(doc, "//x:meta", namespace="x")
Somehow <article>
tag is being omitted from my html generation even though it is part of the template.
Validation requires meta
tags only appear in <head>
and not <body>
(but still do use property
and not name
for RDFa properties). Validation also requries all images have alt-text, which is not provided by the markdown parser. Otherwise validates as HTML5.
Ignoring the declared content-type will nearly validate as XML. (Had to make onClick
from the Google tracker javascript must be lowercase onclick
.)
HTML5 needs lang=
declared in <html>
tag, (while is tolerant of xml:lang
), but XML
doesn't want to see lang
in the <html>
tag. Perhaps can go somewhere else and be valid HTML5? (Using a meta
tag for this is now obsolete).
HTML5 allows tags to be unclosed, e.g.
<meta charset="utf-8">
instead of<meta charset="utf-8" />
but this is not valid XML.See:
Note that tags with no content must be closed with
/>
(like themeta
example) while tags with content must get a normal closing (<li> item </li>
etc) .HTML5 spec is kinda logical since closing is syntax redundant even though not closing is not valid XML, see SO question for discussion.
