Parsing custom tags


GeXus

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I'm building a very simple templating system, that will allow partners to create/edit custom templates. I want to include some dynamic tags such as a date format tags... which would look like

 

<tag:date format="m.d.y"/>

 

I was thinking of using XPath, however I found that when using DomDocument with LoadHTML or LoadXML that it was very particular about the formating and if it was messy code, it would not work.

 

Any suggestions for the best way parse out these custom tags? I would prefer not to use regex.

What is messy? Not well-formed? Shouldn't the tags always be well-formed?
