[fpc-pascal] XML DOM and HTML

[Johannes Nohl]

Dear list,

I player around with the units dom and xmlread. I liked them very
much. Now I thought I could parse websites with it. But they are
slightly different as far as I know. In xml everthing is within a node
while in HTML there are more then one value in a node. E.g.:

possible XML:

<div>
 asdf1
 <span>qwer1</span>
 <span>qwer2</span>
</div>

HTML:
<div>
 asdf1
 <span>qwer1</span>
 asdf2
 <span>qwer2</span>
 asdf3
</div>

Using XML-Dom I can access Value "asdf1" only. I think second example
is not valid XML, or?

Has anybody used XML to parse HTML-files? Is there a unit?

Thanks four your help!
