Re: [Htmlparser-developer] HTML Comments/Remarks

[Sam J. <ga...@yh...>]

Hi Somik,

Thanks for the help.  I think I would like to see the 
toPlainTextString() method remain.  Although I'm not quite sure of the 
difference between HTMLRemarkNode.toString and 
HTMLRemarkNode.toPlainTextString.

Trying out both in my code I see that toPlainTextString() seems to 
generate a blank while toString() gives me the contents of the 
remark/comment.  To be specific about my objectives, I'm trying to 
handle meta-data by the creative commons group which currently involved 
placing a big chunk of rdf/xml in a remark within the page.  I'm very 
much hoping to be able to extract that comment verbatim and then pass it 
over to my rdf/xml parser.

I'll be happy as long as I can achieve that.

Also, I solved my problem with the debugging output.  The problem was 
with the code I was using to output the final data.  The print() command 
was being called on links and meta-tags, and the way that ant formatted 
things it made it look like the associated System.out calls were being 
made during the parsing process rather than at the end.  Sorry about 
that, all fixed now, so don't worry about looking at the code that I 
sent you in my previous email.

Thanks again for all your help.  I'm looking forward to fully 
integrating HTMLParser with NeuroGrid over the next two days.
