[opencms-dev] trying to find the correct function

[Joe Desbonnet]

You're right -- doing search and replace on an XML file is dangerous.
Instead you can open the "HTML" file and read it into a DOM structure
using an XML parser. You can then programatically manipulate that DOM
structure.  Alternatively you can use XSLT to transform the XML.  Then
write the modified document back to the CMS.

Take a look at org.opencms.file.CmsFile methods getContent() and setContent().
