How to use mxTextTools

Hi,
I'm looking at mxTextTools to see if it would be suitable for some
types of text parsing work I am interested in (nothing concrete yet,
so I can't give specifics...)

The example in the documentation of tagging HTML looks fine - I
understand what's going on there, and as I understand it, this will
give me back a taglist, which is (effectively) the text stream with
portions tagged as I ask.

What I dont't see (yet), and I can't find any good examples for, is
what to do with the resulting taglist. There seem to be no functions
for working with taglists, and the lists themselves seem like
relatively complex data structures, so is it right that I should be
manipulating them "by hand"?

More information, or better still, some complete examples, would be
very helpful. (All the examples in the distribution just use
print_tags() to display the tags, and don't do anything with them...)
