Semantic Structure of HTML page

Hi,

Does anyone know of any application, or simply any development, on
extracting semantic structure of HTML pages?

Cheers,
Michael

Explain what sort of output you're expecting to see.

Re: Semantic Structure of HTML page

Hi,

Well, I'm expecting that it can group paragraphs under headings etc.,
and with the syntax hidden. It can be in the form of a directory or a
tree, where nodes are grouped/branched out from a particular
heading/parent.

Cheers,
Michael

The W3 validator's parse tree option does a crude job of this:

Firefox has the DOM inspector that does something like that.

Hi,

The DOM inspector seems to output the parse tree, and doesn't seem to
convey any semantic meanings though.

Semantics are in the eye of the beholder.

Boy, I hope that's not true in the general case, or there are a lot of
people wasting a lot of time with HTML and its cousins.
