Parsing HTML files

Does anybody know any libraries that I can use to extract the META tags from
an HTML file? Or parse the HTML file?

Ideally I'm hoping for something that will parse them like the XmlDocument
class but of course that won't parse an HTML file because HTML is rarely
well-formed XML.

Thanks,
Jeff
