I have a project where I need to parse html files that are table heavy
(a calendar, actually), and I thought minidom would be perfect for my
needs. The problem is that the HTML that I'm trying to parse isn't quite
valid XML -- mostly minor things, but enough so that minidom won't work.
Is there a something that would convert an html file into XML that
would work with minidom? Or is there something better, like something
more geared towards html that I should be looking at?
The reason I thought of minidom is because I want to easily be able to
navigate through table cells. Basically, it's a weekly calendar, and
there's a table that has cells for each day. Inside each day cell, there
are cells for time and for the name of the event. There are other ways
to do this, but I'd like to learn more about parsing XML documents and
thought this would be a good way accomplish my immediate needs and learn
something new.
Thanks!
Jen
