gjdoc currently doesn't handle that very well.

Obviously we should fix gjdoc (or actually libxmlj it seems) but in the
meantime please avoid using non-XHTML in comments.


Regarding "fixing" libxmlj: I've considered adding HTML parsing support with implementations for the HTML DOM, however there is absolutely no facility in JAXP as far as I can see to declare that an input source is intended to be HTML (or anything other than XML). I haven't seen support for parsing HTML in any other JAXP parser either.

I think XHTML is fine, I believe Mark was just having trouble with gjdoc crashing because of occurences of 'L&F' in javadocs :)


cheers,
