; See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Local $sHtml = "<html><body><p><b>Hello</b> World!<p>This is a test</body></html>"

; Convert the above to XML
$oH2x = ObjCreate("Chilkat.HtmlToXml")

; By default, text formatting tags are dropped. Text formatting HTML tags are: b, font, i, u, br, center, em, strong, big, tt, s, small, strike, sub, and sup
$oH2x.Html = $sHtml
ConsoleWrite($oH2x.ToXml() & @CRLF)

; The resulting XML is:

; <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
; <root>
;     <html>
;         <body>
;             <p>
;                 <text>Hello World!</text>
;             </p>
;             <p>
;                 <text>This is a test</text>
;             </p>
;         </body>
;     </html>
; </root>

; To preserve text formatting tags, put the h2x instance into the mode where text formatting tags are not dropped:
$oH2x.UndropTextFormattingTags 

; Convert again to see the difference:
ConsoleWrite($oH2x.ToXml() & @CRLF)

; The resulting XML is:

; <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
; <root>
;     <html>
;         <body>
;             <p>
;                 <b>
;                     <text>Hello</text>
;                 </b>
;                 <text> World!</text>
;             </p>
;             <p>
;                 <text>This is a test</text>
;             </p>
;         </body>
;     </html>
; </root>

; Call DropTextFormattingTags to put the h2x instance back in "drop" mode.
$oH2x.DropTextFormattingTags 

; Convert again to see the difference:
ConsoleWrite($oH2x.ToXml() & @CRLF)

; The resulting XML is:

; <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
; <root>
;     <html>
;         <body>
;             <p>
;                 <text>Hello World!</text>
;             </p>
;             <p>
;                 <text>This is a test</text>
;             </p>
