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 (could easily work in GUI programs too). 
<p>
This fast html parser can be used to dissect html into its pieces. 
<p>
Example: if you want to find text inside the bold or Italic tag I show you how to do this in an older demo program <a href="http://positivesale.com/freePascal/HtmlPars/FastHtmlParse1.0.zip">here</a>. 
<p>
If you want to grab content from other people's website using this parser, you could use it in FPC CGI programs. 
<p>
Your code will be easier to maintain over the sloppy regex way of doing things since you can precisely grab content within tags or text zones.
