Hi!
I'm considering writing an HTML 5 parser for Common Lisp.
Nice :)
How do you think I should do it?
Should I have a look to the spec
http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#parsing
and follow that algorithm?
Should I try to understand html5lib python code and port it?
I recommend reading the spec and implementing from that; it is described
as an imperative algorithm so it won't quite translate directly into
lisp, but it should be clear what is expected. What html5lib does
provide is a large number of testcases which I recommend using to verify
your implementation does the right thing. The format is documented at [1]
