- Summary
- How do we remove unwanted xhtml

- Description
- At any point, pdf2you? will handle a subset of all possible wiki markups. This is because new markups keep getting added and people can create any number of local customisations. We thus need a strategy for eliminating unwanted xhtml tags from the output that we expect will be conform to the tbook dtd.
- Importance

- Proposed solution
- We need a way to tell PmWiki to edit the output from any markups we haven’t specifically defined. For example, to debug we might want
'/<(.*?)>/' → '<$1>'. Then when we are happy with the results, we might want '/<(.*?)>/' → ''. In the first pass, we prepend an XML namespace (<tbook:..> </tbook:…>) to all tags we generate. In the PmWiki postprocessing pass, we strip out (or for debugging, replace angle brackets with literal angle brackets '<$1>') all tags without this namespace, then remove the namespace from the remaining tags.

- Resolution
- Use of a tbook: namespace and posteval rules handles this nicely. It just works.
