Let’s say I have some HTML like this:

<ol><li>a knock at the door, I'll be back in a second

which I display as inline HTML within a div that I produce. Is there any way to stop the inner, malformed HTML from screwing up the alignment of the entire document that comes after the HTML?

I realize that intelligently parsing it is one option (since I do have it on the server side), but I’m looking for a lighter solution.

Edit I know I could just replace the < and > with entities, but I want to keep the formatting (within reason).

    Despite you looking for a ‘lighter solution’ than HTML parsing, you might want to consider using HTML Purifier or HTML Tidy, since that should take care of broken tags for you – that’s essentially what they were made for.
