Converts HTML document into valid XHTML document. There are different ways to specify how the HTML input source will be converted:
- enter the HTML text in the HTML Text field,
- specify the attribute that contains the HTML text in the Attribute with HTML Text parameter,
- specify the attribute that contains the path to HTML File, or
- pick the HTML file in the HTML Filename parameter.
Note: HTML 5 tags are not yet supported.

Error Handling
Error and Warning List Name
Features with at least one error will be output through the Failed port with a new list attribute specified in Error and Warning List Name added to the features. If the default _html_error is the list name, the elements of the list attribute contain the following:
| Elements of List Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| _ html_error{}.type | WARNING or ERROR |
| _ html_error{}.file | the file where the warning or error or occurs |
| _ html_error{}.line | the line where the warning or error occurs |
| _ html_error{}.col | the column where the warning or error occurs |
| _ html_error{}.desc | the details about the warning or error |
Note: Attribute lists are not accessible from the output schema in Workbench unless they are first processed using a transformer that operates on them, such as ListExploder or ListConcatenator. All attribute list transformers are displayed in the Contents pane of the Transformer Help under Lists. Alternatively, AttributeExposer can be used.
Ignore Warnings
If set to Yes, errors are only reported in the list name during the conversion process.
Editing Transformer Parameters
Using a set of menu options, transformer parameters can be assigned by referencing other elements in the workspace. More advanced functions, such as an advanced editor and an arithmetic editor, are also available in some transformers. To access a menu of these options, click 
beside the applicable parameter. For more information, see Transformer Parameter Menu Options.
