Looking for tools/ideas for filtering HTML
Hello:
I have just joined this list, and am also a beginning Java
programmer. I appologize if this is not a suitable question for this
list. I need to write a filter for HTML pages. My goal is to read an
HTML page, throwing away all the HTML code and just keeping a block of
text that occurs near the bottom of the page. The HTML tags are liable
to be unbalanced. There will be a <P> but no </P>. I found a sample
program that used the SAXparser, but it SAXparser doesn't seem to handle
unbalanced tags. Ideas/comments would be appreciated. Thank you.
Regards
Robert Jaquiss

You can take a look at some projects like:
* JavaCC HTML Parser (http://www.quiotix.com/downloads/html-parser/)
* HEX - The HTML Enabled XML Parser
(http://www-uk.hpl.hp.com/people/sth/java/hex.html)
