I have a Java-based rich-text editor which outputs XHTML, and although
none of it is complex, my main problem is tag termination - ('<img ...
/>' instead of '<img ... >'). If I revert back to HTML, would XSLT be
the best way to convert this before putting it into the database? Or
would I be better of using some kind of regular expression in my PHP to
convert it?
