<< HTML_and_ConTeXt | Setting_up_ConTeXt_document >

The next step is to retrieve the HTML pages created in the step above. Here I have used the ruby library 'open-uri' to retrieve the web-page and another libray 'hpricot' to edit these pages and translate html markup into ConTeXt markup.


#scan_page.rb = Retrieves the html page of interest from the server,
#        navigates to links within the main page and construct a
#        context document
                            
#!/usr/bin/ruby                   
                
require 'rubygems'
require 'open-uri'        # the open-uri library                                                                                   
require 'hpricot'         # the hpricot library                                                                                        
require 'scrape_page'     # user-defined function to filter html  into ConTeXt                                                
                                                                   
# scans the home page and lists     
# all the directories and subdirectories

doc=Hpricot(open("http://ipa.dd.re.ss/AnnRep07"))
