Free soup software for linux

TagSoup is a SAX2 parser written in Java that, instead of parsing well-formed or valid XML. Tag Soup parses HTML as it is found in the wild: nasty and brutish, though quite often far from short.

By providing a SAX interface, it allows standard XML tools to be applied to even the worst HTML. It is a parser, not a whole application; it isnt intended to permanently clean up bad HTML, as HTML Tidy does, only to parse it on the fly.

The following options are understood:

--files
Output into individual files, with html extensions changed to xhtml. Otherwise, all output is sent to the standard output.
--html
Output is in clean HTML: the XML declaration is suppressed, as are end-tags for the known empty elements.
--omit-xml-declaration
The XML declaration is suppressed.
--method=html
End-tags for the known empty HTML elements are suppressed.
--pyx
Output is in PYX format.
--pyxin
Input is in PYXoid format (need not be well-formed).
--nons
Namespaces are suppressed. Normally, all elements are in the XHTML 1.x namespace, and all attributes are in no namespace.
--nobogons
Bogons (unknown elements) are suppressed. Normally, they are treated as empty.
--nodefaults
suppress default attribute values
--nocolons
change explicit colons in element and attribute names to underscores
--norestart
dont restart any normally restartable elements
--any
Bogons are given a content model of ANY rather than EMPTY.
--lexical
Pass through HTML comments. Has no effect when output is in PYX format.
--reuse
Reuse a single instance of TagSoup parser throughout. Normally, a new one is instantiated for each input file.
--nocdata
Change the content models of the script and style elements to treat them as ordinary #PCDATA (text-only) elements, as in XHTML, rather than with the special CDATA content model.
--encoding=encoding
Specify the input encoding. The default is the Java platform default.
--help
Print help.
--version
Print the version number.

Beautiful Soup project is a Python HTML/XML parser designed for quick turnaround projects like screen-scraping. Three features make it powerful:

Beautiful Soup wont choke if you give it bad markup. It yields a parse tree that makes approximately as much sense as your original document. This is usually good enough to collect the data you need and run away.
Beautiful Soup provides a few simple methods and Pythonic idioms for navigating, searching, and modifying a parse tree: a toolkit for dissecting a document and extracting what you need. You dont have to create a custom parser for each application.
Beautiful Soup automatically converts incoming documents to Unicode and outgoing documents to UTF-8. You dont have to think about encodings, unless the document doesnt specify an encoding and Beautiful Soup cant autodetect one. Then you just have to specify the original encoding.

Beautiful Soup parses anything you give it, and does the tree traversal stuff for you. You can tell it "Find all the links", or "Find all the links of class externalLink", or "Find all the links whose urls match "foo.com", or "Find the table heading thats got bold text, then give me that text."

Valuable data that was once locked up in poorly-designed websites is now within your reach. Projects that would have taken hours take only minutes with Beautiful Soup.

Quanta Plus is a highly stable and feature rich web development environment. Quantas vision has always been to start with the best architectural foundations, design for efficient and natural use and enable maximal user extensibility.

We recognize that we dont have the resources to do everything we would like to so our target is to make it easy for you to help make this the best community based desktop application anywhere. Pretty much everything in Quanta is designed so you can extend it.

Even the way it handles XML DTDs is based on XML files you can edit. You can even import DTDs, write scripts to manage editor contents, visually create dialogs for your scripts and assign script actions to nearly any file operation in a project. You can even look at and communicate with a wide range of what happens inside Quanta using DCOP.

Quanta is based on KDE so this means it is network transparent from any dialog or project. It can use not only FTP but other KDE KIO slaves from file dialogs or in project settings. For instance if you want secure access try the fish KIO slave that uses SSH.

Just enter fish://[user]@domain in any dialog or select fish in your project settings. Here on this site you will find information on using Kommander to visually build dialogs you can extend Quanta with. These applications talk to each other using an IPC (Inter Process Communication) called DCOP (DEsktop Communication Protocol).

Of course I realize this can sound like alphabet soup techno-babble to some web developers, but heres what it means. When you are using Quanta and realize you would like to do something and you want to ask "Can I do this?" you can expect the answer will not only be yes, but it will probably be even cooler than you hoped for.

Not included on this site are other tools you can use with Quanta for revision control and reviewing and merging changes in files. Those applications are Cervisia and Kompare, and if they are not installed and you install them Quanta will use them.

We would like to think that there are rich rewards to be found here for those willing to explore new ways of doing things, or perhaps in some cases old ways that are just new to you.

Simple Page Archive is a mirror and archiving tool to copy Web pages you are interested in. The CGI script downloads all images and CSS files to preserve the mirrored Web page.
It works with the ZEUS (www.zeus.com) and Apache (www.apache.org) web servers. SPA is an simple CGI script which allows you to mirror a single web page. It stores all images and CSSs locally, so you are able to browse through the archive without the need of the original, images being availiable.
The script is dead simple to install!
1. First you need to download "Beatiful Soup" (BS) from http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/ which is a quite simple but very good HTML Parser (not like the one in the Python distro .. which is acutally broken). Please "install" the BS module in your site-packages directory of python.
2. Copy the "index.py" file to directory of your "web archive".
3. Edit the script and change wroot variable in Configuration section at the beginning of the script to the document root directory of your web archive (NOT the physical path on the disk!)
3.1 If you are behind a firewall and you need proxy support, add your proxy server in the Configuration section as well.
4. Make sure you have CGI support enabled in your web server.
5. Make sure index.py is being called as the default DirectoryIndex.
6. Make sure the permissions of the index.py file and the directory are set
correctly. The CGI process must be able to write to your archive directory.
7. Open a browser and try to mirror a page ;-)
Enhancements:
- Added filter support
- Output now sorted by date

String::MFN is a Perl module to Normalize a string in the manner of the mfn utility.

SYNOPSIS

use String::MFN;

my $sane_string = mfn($retarded_string);
...

Normalizes a string. Normalization, in brief, means modifying the string to resemble a sane UNIX filename while retaining information carried by the original formatting.
Normalization, in specific, consists of characters other than [w-.+] being removed, lowercasing of all letters, separation of internaCaps, separation of leading numerals from trailing non-numerals, replacement of "bracketing" characters ({[()]}), replacement of ampersands, and collapsing (things that look like) repeating extentions.

Worminator 3 is akin to many Apogee Software and ID Software classic action games such as Duke Nukem and Commander Keen.
In Worminator game, you play as The Worminator (or as several other optional characters) and fight your way through many levels of madness and mayhem.
It features nine unique weapons, visible character damage, multiple supported resolutions, full screen scrolling, sound and music, and more.
Original Worminator story...
The year is 2028, 14 years after the start of the deadliest war in the history of worm kind. Much has changed... In the year 2012; a brilliant American scientist discovered how to make W.O.R.M. (Wormborg Operated Remote Missile) Weaponry, and to work them, the "WormBorgs" cyborg fighting machines.
These so called "WormBorgs" were the elite fighting force and the pride of the United Worms of America. Their life-like roles soon became far too life-like. They thought on their own, and acted on their own whims, under their own leader "DirtNet." No one exactly knows who or what "DirtNet" is, but it soon began to take over.
First, it launched the W.O.R.M.s at the Woroviet Union, in the hopes that they would retaliate and initiate a war between the Woroviet Union and the UWA. However, "DirtNet" obviously had a few bugs to work out, and the W.S.S.R was obliterated into millions of radioactive hunks of mud and dirt. Despite the fact that no one liked Wormunism anyway, all of Wormurope retaliated against the UWA.
Soon, the world was turned into a nuclear wasteland. Nuke drops became daily ordeals, and the giant bombs turning whole forests into matchsticks was to be expected. As if the sewers werent loaded with enough mutated alligators as it was, the hunks of radioactive material combined with the primordial soup of the sewers are said to have created blobs of sewage ooze, powerful enough that they fed off the mutated alligators for lunch.
After what was left of Wormurope had realized what tricks had been played on them by "DirtNet," they began to rally and fight back. For 8 years, the WormBorgs dominated the lands, crushing the rebels... until one faithful day, when the now famous rebel hero emerged. It was Wrom Conner.
No longer acting as individual factions, countries or nations, the rebels struck quickly and fiercely under Wroms command, using tactics that even the powerful W-1000s processors could not predict. The tide of the war had turned.
Over the next 5 years, the rebels devastated the WormBorgs. Using guerilla tactics and reprogrammed WormBorgs to fight for them, the rebels were a resourceful army indeed. Now, in desperation, "DirtNet" has just brought its proto-type WormBorg online, equipped with the latest in armor and weaponry, in one last attempt to regain control...
Main features:
- Fast, fluid scrolling
- 12 unique weapons, and many types of ammo
- Lots of gibs and shrapnel (all cartoonish, though)
- Visible character damage (as you get hurt, the Worminator actually becomes bloody)

- Many sound effects (All from Internet sites such as Sound America and Meanrabbit. Let me know if there are any copyright problems, and I will deal with them immediately)
- Parallax scrolling, plus four data layers in every map. This makes the engine very flexible
- Game includes a campaign game with special scripted events, as well as an option to load custom maps
- Stereo sound effects (where available)
- Limited skins support; you can play as different characters!
- Built using Allegro + DJGPP. Source code may be made available if the demand is there
