ruby-htmltools

This is a Ruby library for building trees representing HTML structure.

Requirements

• This requires a patched version of the html-parser library to be installed. A patched version can be obtained from:
  http://www.narf-lib.org/downloads/patched-html-parser.tar.gz
  
  This is a patched version of
  http://www.jin.gr.jp/~nahi/Ruby/html-parser/html-parser-19990912p2.tar.gz
  from
  http://www.jin.gr.jp/~nahi/Ruby/html-parser/README.html
  
  with the following patch installed:
  

  ---

  NOTE: You have to change lines 198 and 199 in sgml-parser.rb to read: (This requires that you edit line 199)
  
      elsif (attrvalue[0] == ?' && attrvalue[-1] == ?') or
      (attrvalue[0] == ?" && attrvalue[-1] == ?")
  

  ---

  
  
• The tests require the Test::Unit library, which is now part of Ruby, or can be gotten from http://testunit.talbott.ws/. If you don't have Test::Unit, it won't run the tests as part of the install.
  
  
• The XPath support (html/xpath.rb) and the HTMLTree::XMLParser (html/xmltree.rb)
  
<>both require a fairly recent version of REXML to work correctly. Earlier
versions will fail the tests. This version has only been tested with REXML
version 3.0.9; other versions may also work.
You can get REXML from: http://www.germane-software.com/software/rexml/

See the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

Vim-Remote for Ruby

This is a Ruby library for remote control of the Vim editor under X11.

It uses Matju's RubyX11, but requires some patches to that library.

These patches (for RubyX11-1.05) are enclosed in the tarball, or can be gotten separately here.
