News You Can Bruise for 2005 March 30 (entry 2)

Wed Mar 30 2005 22:18 PST: Okay, I've got the new Beautiful Soup running an extremely sensible parsing algorithm based (more or less) on the difference between block tags and inline tags. I gave it a pretty-print mode so I could eyeball the parse tree, and it looks good everywhere I've tried it. Major features I still have to implement:

• Make fetch() capable of searching for text, not just tags.
• Add the nextSibling and prevSibling members for tags that have siblings on the same level of the parse tree.
