Dim html As String = "<html><body><p><b>Hello</b> World!<p>This is a test</body></html>"
' Convert the above to XML
Dim h2x As ChilkatHtmlToXml
h2x.Initialize
' 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
h2x.Html = html
Log(h2x.ToXml)
' 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:
h2x.UndropTextFormattingTags
' Convert again to see the difference:
Log(h2x.ToXml)
' 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.
h2x.DropTextFormattingTags
' Convert again to see the difference:
Log(h2x.ToXml)
' The resulting XML is:
' <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
