javascript:void(window.location = 'view-source:http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd');

I type "xhtml" in the toolbar, and I get some excellent late night reading. ;-)

Still stuck at the parsing part; first started to create a simple bnf parser with the help of these pages: http://cui.unige.ch/db-research/Enseignement/analyseinfo/
But haven't got a clue which is the best way to parse things in php (that is: what is the datastructure?

Any idea's?

But currently, I'm more interested in XML and writing my own DTD for BlogML - and when writing a DTD, a former DTD can be an excellent example of how to write a new one.
