I'm not sure that I understand what you're after, but maybe the
following will help.

This simply returns a collection of all the h4 headings that are in cells:


| rootNode divs cells cellTitleNodes cellTitles |

rootNode := GoogleChrome get: 'http://mutabit.com/grafoscopio/index.en.html'.
divs := rootNode findAllTags: 'div'.
cells := divs select: [ :each | (' ' split: (each attributeAt:
'class')) includes: 'mdl-cell' ].
cellTitleNodes := cells flatCollect: [ :each | each findAllTags: 'h4' ].
cellTitles := cellTitleNodes collect: [ :each | (each findAllStrings:
true) first nodeValue ].
{ rootNode. divs. cells. cellTitleNodes. cellTitles }

Thanks very much for improving the readme.  I've merged the PR.

Cheers,
