Yes for markup, I played already quite much with Soup initially at first but then XPath which os far more convenient and direct. PetitParser(2) is also a pure gem. I finally understand it better. Grammar and Parser are interesting but maybe more appropriate for structured/semi/structured texts. Pure text, is nice with tools like those Richard just showed. I continue to play with PetitParser2 today (finishing tutorial…).
