Class Sgml2Xml

java.lang.Object

gate.sgml.Sgml2Xml

public class Sgml2Xml
extends Object

Not so fast... This class is not a realy Sgml2Xml convertor. It takes an SGML document and tries to prepare it for an XML parser For a true conversion we need an Java SGML parser... If you know one let me know.... What does it do:

• If it finds something like this : <element attribute = value> it will produce: <element attribute = "value">
• If it finds something like this : <element something attribute2=value>it will produce : <element defaultAttribute="something" attribute2="value">
• If it finds : <element att1='value1 value2' att2="value2 value3"> it will produce: <element att1="value1 value2" att2="value2 value3">
• If it finds : <element1> <elem>text </element1> will produce: <element1> <elem>text<elem> </element1>
• If it find : <element1> <elem>[white spaces] </element1>, it will produce:<element1> <elem/>[white spaces]< /element1>

What doesn't:

• Doesn't expand the entities. So the entities from the SGML document must be resolved by the XML parser
• Doesn't replace internal entities with their corresponding value
