Frequently Asked Questions

Can this convert full HTML5 pages?

Yes, but it primarily targets partial HTML snippets. For full pages, ensure your DOCTYPE is correct in the result.

Why is there a <root> tag?

XML requires a single root element. We wrap your HTML content in a <root> tag to ensure validity.

Does it handle unclosed tags?

Yes, the browser's internal parser attempts to fix and close tags (e.g., <br> becomes <br/>) to make it valid XML.
