I'm working on a way to extract plaintext from HTML documents. My first approach will be a DFA state machine scanner that simply extracts the non-markup tokens. This will work for most documents, except when there are script tags, which will provide the bulk of the noise I expect. To remove these, I may have to resort to a full blown HTML parser. 12:40:47 PM    comment []
