Thanks

There's also the "XMLParser-HTML" project on SM, which allows you to parse HTML with XMLParser, and it works with related XMLParser libs, including XMLParser-XPath. It's also the fastest HTML parser (by far) available for Squeak (and Pharo and GemStone). I wrote it more as a proof of concept and haven't advertised it much, but I've gotten positive feedback on it from Pharo users.
