All of the issues mentioned would be nice to fix (and please do open new is=
sues / PRs for each if you can), but I thought it might be helpful to point=
 out that the wxWidgets docs support generating Doxygen's XML output. You'l=
l likely have much better luck parsing what you need out of those than the =
HTML output as it should be more reliable too.

on Linux:

  docs/doxygen/regen.sh xml

on Windows:

  cd docs/doxygen
  regen.bat xml

More info: https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/blob/master/docs/contribu=
ting/how-to-add-class-documentation.md#running-doxygen

I used to do exactly this to power our old (now retired) IRC bot that offer=
ed official docs on demand for classes and functions using https://github.c=
om/tierra/supybot-doxygen

Doxygen also has a new sqlite format if you'd find it easier to use SQL to =
query the wxWidgets docs too, though it's still not directly supported by o=
ur wxWidgets scripts (you'd have to run Doxygen directly). I'm not sure if =
this includes actual docs, or just symbols though.
