Did you read http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#external_parsers ? There are two ways: converting and parsing. Converting converts a content-type to one that htdig can parse itself, parsing is that your parser will output the parsed file in a special format described in this attribute file. --jesse -------------------------------------------------------------------- J. op den Brouw Johanna Westerdijkplein 75 Haagse Hogeschool 2521 EN DEN HAAG Faculty of Engeneering Netherlands Electrical Engeneering +31 70 4458936 -------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------------------- Linux - because reboots are for hardware changes _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _______________________________________________ htdig-general mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, send a message to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with a subject of unsubscribe FAQ: http://htdig.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html
