Hi folks,
Local rainy Saturday night broadband load prevented me from seeing the whole of 
Colin Holgate's fascinating LiveCode Live presentation on working with web page 
source HTML text - so I can't wait for the recording!

Meanwhile, I'm trying to extract various html tags and specific attributes from 
a page's source code - you know, this and that, where <tag>stuff="this" 
other_stuff="that"</tag>

I'm trying to create the situation where I can iterate through the text using 
something like 'repeat for each tag' and within that loop, 'repeat for each 
attribute' - the question is, how to get the source HTML text structured and 
delimited so that 'HTML tag = line' and 'HTML tag attribute = Item'  

Given there are no obvious single character itemDelimiters in HTML and the 
inefficiency of building-up an algorithm from scratch with chunk functions, are 
any specialised resources, techniques or tricks available - maybe I missed 
something in the libURL feature-set?
Best,
Keith..
