Script to XHTML

I wrote my own script to convert the selection (or whole front document) in Script Editor to XHTML. It uses the same CSS tags as Jonathon’s program, but does not add the style data in, unless a property is set. I’ve also got the Source Code for his program, so it will be interesting to see similarities.

    Script to XHTML v1.0

    Converts selection (or whole document) into XHTML code.
    
    Insert the StyleSheet into your CSS if you want.  Else set externalCSS to false.
    
    Put it in your Scripts Menu, and it will work a treat for you.  
    Even copies the data to the clipboard.
    
    Bugs/Issues:
    
    • Script Editor reports the start of comments [--] as being black, not grey.
    • Doesn't handle references.
    • Operators and values are treated all as values.
