Another thing I thought should be added to the TODO file would be a
feature to allow chaining of parsers. E.g. if an external parser
converts a file to HTML or PostScript, then the external parser handler
should pass this on to the appropriate parser. This would require
being able to identify file types by their content, which should be
fairly easy for HTML and Postscript, but if you want to involve more
file types that can be chained, you'd need support for something like
an /etc/magic file. I guess another way this could be handled would
be to come up with external parsers for HTML & PostScript, that produced
the codes used by ExternalParser.cc. Then, the chaining could be done
within shell or perl scripts.
