ParseResults

[Emmanuel <jo...@gmail.com>]

I would like to implement a way to filter the menu within the different
website. I checked the code and I tried to understand the way the parsing is
done.
I found that we are generating ParseResult based on the parser.

What is the aim of a ParseResult ? Actually I don't understand why we could
store many parseresult ? Is there any specific usage ?
Why do we call the htmlparsefilter.filter after having created a first
ParseResult ?

I may have miss something in this case i will appreciate your help.

You can generate more than 1 parse for a page. See feed plugin for an
example (feed plugin extracts individual entries from an rss file and
stores them seperately).

HtmlParseFilter-s are plugins that take the parse result and the dom
object and work on that. For example, parse-js is an HtmlParseFilter
(it is also a parse plugin) that traverses DOM for script tags and
extracts extra outlinks from it.
