Re: Simple XHTML (XML) parser/printer

[Enrico Colombini <erix@...>]

Some time ago I wrote a tiny XML parser, based on Lua pattern matching 
(the core is ~50 lines).

It's quite limited (it does not currently support comments and CDATA) 
and it's far from conformant to the whole XML standard, but it's enough 
to parse OpenOffice files. I wrote it to do just that, even if the 
project was then shelved (so I had no opportunity to perform extensive 
testing).

It creates a simple tree and calls user functions at tag entry/exit and 
data content while parsing, so the caller can build a dedicated data 
structure.

It's not in publishable shape and it's only documented in the comments 
and test data, but should somebody be interested...
