- As a consequence, etherpad indentation is not supported because it is coded as nested lists.

- Use of htmlcleaner to transform the input file from html to xhtml. For more info, see http://htmlcleaner.sourceforge.net/index.php.
- Apply html2xhtml.xsl : this xsl extracts the content into <body> tags
- Apply html2xhtmlv1.xsl : this xsl is used as a fix and adds br tag at the end of lists (ul and ol)
- Apply html2xhtmlv2.xsl : this xsl surround text line with p tags and transforms non-hdoc tags into hdoc tags as s, u, strong tags.
- Apply html2xhtml3.xsl : this xsl is used as a fix, it deletes p tags when its child is ul or ol
- Apply xhtml2hdoc.xsl : this xsl transforms the content into hdoc structure

## Capitalisation
We learned how to use xsl sheets with text file as an input : we had to use regular expressions to extract content.
