Re: [Htmlparser-user] parser help

[Ernest C. <ern...@gm...>]

Hi,

I use the parser a lot for work. one thing i've noticed is that in many
news articles there are comment sections, and in these sections, plain
text. but the parser doesn't pick them up. what is about the comment
sections that make it unreadable? is there a different class i should be
using?

Thank you,
ernest
