The first two XMLC features to be covered are the most common ones used. Once a reference to the tag is established, XMLC working in conjunction with the W3C DOM Java classes can provide access methods which are appropriate to the given tag type. That is, an HTML header will have access methods which make sense for an HTML header. However, having access to HTML tags may not be sufficient. Since it is envisaged that most HTML that is created as input to XMLC will be done with HTML design tools, it should be noted that not all design tools support HTML 4.0.
Most design tools do have a facility to allow one to add new or unsupported tags, however.
It should be noted that all id attributes must be given a name that is unique within the HTML document. Java variable names. A Sample HTML Page Let's look at a sample HTML page that shows these concepts. This is a text of XMLC, showing how one can change text located in SPAN tags. Text outside of those tags and not within another tag with an id attribute cannot be changed.
