Description  :
Fast HTML Parser. Was originally for GUI programs in Delphi, but I have created this package to  work as a command line tool with freepascal. No issues came up when compiling with FPC 2.0.0.
<p>
This fast html parser can be used to dissect html into it's pieces. 
<p>
Example: if you want to find text inside the bold or Italic tag I show you how to do this in the demo program. If you want to dissect all the tags at once, the demo program shows you how.
<p>
If you want to grab content from other people's website using this parser, you could use it in FPC CGI programs. 
<p>
When you are analyzing HTML, this parser is fast and precise, and your code will be easier to maintain over say the sloppy regex way of doing things.
<pre>
Update:
 -Version 1.0b now contains an ExecUpCase function
 -all tags can be found by '<TAG>' even if source 
  file you parse contains <tag> or <TaG>
