Quick question. What is the correct way to get the text from a web page into

then use the normal string functions to get to the information?

Parsing the HTML is trickier... since HTML is not strict about formatting.
You can try regular expression parsing or string parsing to get the
individual elements you want. Otherwise see if there is a HTML parsing

Ok, I work for a small newspaper thats looking to translate our content to the web. XML sounds like a good way to do this, but i'm a little confused. Is it possible to have <b> and <i> tags in an XML document? we'd need to do this editorial style (movie names get are italic etc) When writing a dtd for the paper, it seems as though everything must appear in a linear fashion i.e. headline, body, endnotes.
