ad parsing the html-source, and parts:

recently, i fell over a book from simon st. laurent (xml: a primer),
where he describes also how browsers could broken down into parts (for
some details you may want to look at
http://edusrv.edu.uni-klu.ac.at/~rthurner/kdearch/), and it seems to me
kfm has such an architecture. but what i'm unclear of is parsing source
documents (be it html, or xml). how this is currently handled in
kfm/konqueror/koffice?

rupert.
