AW: [Caml-list] Extracting information from HTML documents

[Gerd Stolpmann <info@gerd-stolpmann.de>]

Well, not really identical, but there is at least a robust HTML parser  
in OCamlnet:

http://projects.camlcity.org/projects/dl/ocamlnet-3.6.3/doc/html-main/Nethtml.html

Homepage: http://projects.camlcity.org/projects/ocamlnet.html

This parser was once used for Mylife's profile extractor (grabbing data  
from profile pages of social networks), and is proven to handle  
absolutely bad HTML well. XML should also be no problem.
