Re: [lxml-dev] About the position of html parsing by HTML Target parser

[bringing this back to the list]

Sorry about that :)

You may also consider using something like ahocorasick

ahocorasick doesnt seem to work with native unicode, which makes it about as useful (for my particular purpose anyway) as the parser context uft8 stream positions :( Is there any fundamental reason why an xml parser couldn't work with native unicode? ie an abstract character stream? I'm completely clueless when it comes to parsers.
