Can anyone recommend a good HTML/XHTML parser, similar to
HTMLParser.HTML Parser or htmllib.HTMLPar ser, but able to intelligently
know that certain tags, like <br>, are implicitly closed? I need to
iterate through the entire DOM, building up a DOM path, but the stdlib
parsers aren't calling handle_endtag() for any implicitly closed tags.
I looked at BeautifulSoup, but it only seems to work by first parsing
the entire document, then allowing you to query the document
afterwards. I need something like a SAX parser.

This isn't possible. Your own example of arbitrarily closeable Tags needs
context that just a SAX-like parser can't provide.
I suggest you use BeautifulSoup, and if you must create your own
event-generation around that which you can attach consumers to.

Try lxml.html. It's very memory friendly and extremely fast, so you may end up
without any reason to use SAX anymore. http://codespeak.net/lxml/

Hi
I have used some of this code from the PHP manual, but I am bloody hopeless
with regular expressions.
Was hoping somebody could offer a hand.
The output of this will put the name of a form field beside name.
I want to get the following but not sure how to modify the code below.
1. Field Name (to appear beside NAME:)
2. Field Type (to appear beside TYPE:)

When I run the well quoted line:
my $ascii =
HTML::FormatText->new->format(HTML::Parse::parse_html($html));
to remove HTML tags from an html document, it replaces all tables with
"". Is there a quick and easy way to get the table content
parsed too?
Thanks a lot,

Hello,
I am using HTML::Parser to extract text from html pages from
http://bbc.co.uk/urdu/
However the encoding of the input text seems to change to some
unknown encoding in the output.
The program is given below. The HTML is in a string to keep the
example simple. The same problem appears with HTML in a file.

Hello,
I am trying to pinpoint an apparent bug in HTML::Parser. The
encoding of the text seems to change incorrectly if the locale isn't
set properly.
However Parser.pm in the directory
(/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/HTML/)
doesn't seem to contain the "real" parsing statements.

If I use <? include "file.html"; ?> in the html of my

let it remain .html?

Loading text strings containing HTML code into an HTML parser in a

I would like to know, how one would go about loading a text string

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
