Convert HTML to XML with Auto-Correction

Simple HTML to XML conversion. Demonstrates how the HTML is auto-corrected to create well-formed XML. In this example, the closing

is missing. Also, text is encapsulated in nodes with the intent to make it easy for programs to identify and extract the text parts.
