Re: html parser

I have written my own HTML (and XML) parser and have used it with great suc=
cess to scrape websites (as complex as instagram and reddit). I can't vouch=
 for its correctness, nor its efficiency, as I never bothered to write a te=
st suite. However, it has served me well...

https://git.topcheto.eu/tal/ref/master/files/lib/std/fmt/xml.lua

It also has serviceable query functions for the nodes, so you can traverse =
the tree easier. Not documented, so use at your own (sanity's) risk.
