A toy Haskell HTML parser that can pretty-print a well-formed subset of HTML

Primary LanguageHaskell

This project is a toy HTML parser for a subset of well-formed HTML. It supports
the tags html, head, body, div, and a. Other tags are stored in the generic
"OtherT" type. Each tag supports the attributes id, class, and href*, with 
other attributes stored as "OtherA" types.

* Yes, only a's should have 'href'.

To test, load ghci in the same directory as Blanket.hs

$ ghci
Prelude> :l Blanket

[2 of 3] Compiling Parse.Util       ( Parse/Util.hs, interpreted )
[3 of 3] Compiling Blanket          ( Blanket.hs, interpreted )
Ok, modules loaded: Blanket, Parse.Util, Parse.Data.
