// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.
Dim html As String
html = "<html><body><p><b>Hello</b> World!<p>This is a test</body></html>"
// Convert the above to XML
Dim h2x As New 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
h2x.Html = html
System.DebugLog(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:
System.DebugLog(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:
System.DebugLog(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>
