On Monday 19 August three teams of people came together as a first step in creating a Physics book and a Chemistry book written to the assessment curriculum specified by the Independent Examinations Board (IEB). The Siyavula team consisted of Mark Horner. Before we started on day one, I was rather nervous. As teachers from St John’s College.

Installing Tidy-html5 on Ubuntu, First Step to Get Valid & Structured HTML5
https://therealmarv.com/installing-tidy-html5-on-ubuntu-first
Installing Tidy-html5 on Ubuntu, First Step to Get Valid and Structured HTML5. We are starting to transform any HTML and especially HTML5 content to a structured HTML5 for further processing into various output formats (html5, epub, pdf, xml). The problem with transforming HTML5 to a more structured HTML5 is the parsing. The way to make this transformation is currently XSLT and we need XML compatible (X)HTML5 for this. In the past we used HTML tidy. And it does not. Remove all old tidy implementations.
