HTML Parser?

Hi, Mariano.

Thank you very much for the reply.

I was wondering, since no one had replied to me, if it meant there was no such thing, or if I has asked

a remarkably stupid question, and everyone felt I didn't deserve a reply.....LOL.

In any case, I ended up spending a couple hours the other night, and wrote my own.

You already had the AbtHtmlElement classes, so I just extended the top level class,

and wrote a recursive parser (gotta LOVE object-oriented recursion).  The whole thing required

about 6 methods, took only a couple hours, and now works perfectly (well....it APPEARS to...).

Thanks again..

Julian

Hi Julian,

I didn't find any HTML parser available. Maybe others do know. But I am throwing an idea in case it helps you.  On other environments I had this similar need and what I ended up doing is to use the tody tool to convert from HTML to XHTML and then use a regular XML parser on the result. 

Something like this: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/138555/how-to-convert-html-to-xhtml" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" onmousedown="this.href=&#39;https://www.google.com/url?q\x3dhttps%3A%2F%2Fstackoverflow.com%2Fquestions%2F138555%2Fhow-to-convert-html-to-xhtml\x26sa\x3dD\x26sntz\x3d1\x26usg\x3dAFQjCNEDLk8pdYjW7FbFJcCZ4SpfjMLsoA&#39;;return true;" onclick="this.href=&#39;https://www.google.com/url?q\x3dhttps%3A%2F%2Fstackoverflow.com%2Fquestions%2F138555%2Fhow-to-convert-html-to-xhtml\x26sa\x3dD\x26sntz\x3d1\x26usg\x3dAFQjCNEDLk8pdYjW7FbFJcCZ4SpfjMLsoA&#39;;return true;">https://stackoverflow.com/questions/138555/how-to-convert-html-to-xhtml

Of course, I called 'tidy' tool using the tool of the dialect to fork processes in the OS. In VAST it should be either AbtProgramStarter or their low level os-specific classes. 

Let me know if that helps,

Mariano

Hey there.

Is there an HTML parser in VAST?

I have a Pharo 4 image with Seaside 3.0 loaded.

Also, I found a utility, called Seafox, that opens a web page where HTML code can be pasted, it then outputs Seaside web page definitions. The purpose of Seafox is to speed development of Seaside web pages.

I haven't yet tested Seafox, but assume it has an HTML parser.

Here's the Workspace code to load Seafox into a Pharo 4 image that already has Seaside up-and-running:

>> This is Pharo 4 <<

Gofer it

   squeaksource: 'Seafox';

   package: 'ConfigurationOfSeafox';

   load.

ConfigurationOfSeafox loadBleedingEdge 

^^ above loaded in this image ^^

a MetacelloFetchingMCSpecLoader(linear load : 

  explicit load : 0.2-baseline [ConfigurationOfSeafox]

    load : ConfigurationOfObjectMetaTools-MarianoMartinezPeck.2

  linear load : 0.2-baseline [ConfigurationOfSeafox]

    load : Javascript-Jasmine-NickAger.2

      linear load : 1.0-baseline [ConfigurationOfObjectMetaTools]

load : DynamicDeadCodeFinder-MarianoMartinezPeck.22

load : MethodWrappers-MarianoMartinezPeck.6

load : ObjectMetaTools-NicolasLaplume.9

        load : Seafox-NickAger.53)

I don't have time to explore this now.

If you make some progress with this, please let me know.

if that was the case, I would have been banned from this forum about a decade ago or so. Most people here are nice ;-)

I guess you've heard about VASTGoodies...? If not, please ask ;-)

 

You already had the AbtHtmlElement classes, so I just extended the top level class,

and wrote a recursive parser (gotta LOVE object-oriented recursion).  The whole thing required

about 6 methods, took only a couple hours, and now works perfectly (well....it APPEARS to...).

Sounds really good.
