Way to big to make heads and tails of it.

Yes, well, I've "*tired*" it, with no useful results;
since I'm reading off memory, and since it's suppose
to work like parsing xml, I did it the same way:

xmlDocPtr processSourceCode(char* cString,char*
encoding, char* url)
{
		
	/* try to parse the code as XHTML */
	xmlDocPtr receiver = xmlReadMemory(cString,
strlen(cString), "noname.xml", encoding,
XML_PARSE_NOERROR);
	
    if (receiver == NULL) 
	{ /* not valid XML doc? pase it as html */
           receiver = htmlReadMemory(cString,
strlen(cString), url, encoding, NULL);
    }
   return receiver;
}

I get all the HTML warning errors, but receiver stays
NULL.  So, if it 'bascially' works the same, how come
this method doesn't work?
