How to deal with empty tags in a SAX Parser

Hi,

I hope someone can help me with the problem I am having!

Basically, I have written an xml-editor application. When an XML file is selected, I parse the file with a SAX parser and save the start and end locations of all the tags and character data. This enables me to display the xml file with the tags all nicely formatted with pretty colours. Truly it is a Joy To Behold. However, I have a problem with tags in this form:

<package name="boo"/>

because the SAX parser treats them like this:

<package name = boo>

</package>

for various complex reasons the latter is unaccetable so my question is: Is there some fiendishly clever method to detect tags of this type as they occur, so that I can treat them accordingly?

Thanks,

Chris
