mshtml as html parser

[Kirill K. Smirnov]

Hi, all!

Just a little question: can wine's current implementation of mshtml.dll be 
used as html parser? I need to convert html code into a tree without 
displaying it.
I tried to look through the code, but I'm not familiar with OLE. BTW some 
E_NOIMPL confused me.

Thanks in advance

You might want to use tidy and an XML pareser :

Wine's DOM implementation is mostly a stub. Only basic functions
are implemented (that is functions used by apps I've been working on).
Others are usually trivial to implement but there is a lot of them.
Anyways if you write an app and look for parser lib, I'd suggest using
something else, eg Gecko.
